## Summary
- Dedicated batch fast paths for **EMA, RSI, Bollinger, MACD and ATR** (used by the Python bindings): one allocation filled in a single pass, warmup encoded as `NaN`, no per-element `Option` or input re-validation. Each is **bit-for-bit equal** to replaying `update` — SMA/Bollinger keep the drift-reseed cadence, the EMA-family keep the seed division and `mul_add` recurrences. Adds the `BatchNanExt` extension trait.
- **Cross-library benchmark refresh**: `compare_libraries.py` reports the median across timing rounds (`--rounds` / `--streaming-rounds`), gains `--skip-batch` / `--skip-streaming`, and runs every peer through the streaming arena (recompute for batch-only libraries). `wickra-bench` drives the batch fast paths against `kand`.
- **README** benchmark section reordered streaming-first (the order-of-magnitude result), with measured TA-Lib/tulipy/pandas-ta numbers in place of the CI-only placeholders.
## Impact
- Python batch ~2× faster on EMA/RSI/MACD/ATR; streaming path unchanged.
- The `batch == streaming` equivalence stays bit-exact.
## Verification
- `cargo fmt` · `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` (clean)
- `cargo test --workspace --all-features` — 3782 unit + 420 doc tests pass
- Python `pytest` — streaming-vs-batch, known-values, input-validation, smoke pass
## Notes
- Node/WASM bindings keep their existing batch; the fast paths are Python-only for now.
Introduces a BarBuilder trait for price-driven chart constructors that emit a variable number of bars per candle (deliberately not Indicator). Adds Renko (box-size bricks, 2-box reversal), Kagi (reversal-amount segments) and Point & Figure (box-size X/O columns, N-box reversal) in a new Alt-Chart Bars family, with custom Python/Node/WASM bindings, a dedicated fuzz target, tests and docs. Indicator count 292 -> 295.
Codecov flagged 30 uncovered lines in crates/wickra-core/src/traits.rs (file at
75.60%): the const borrow accessors Chain::first / Chain::second (140-147), the
Chain::warmup_period + Chain::name Indicator-impl bodies (167-178), the full
Identity test-helper Indicator surface — reset, warmup_period, is_ready, name
(198-209), and Doubler's warmup_period + name (228-236).
None of the existing tests touched those code paths: every chain test invoked
update/reset/is_ready through the Chain wrapper without ever inspecting the
borrow accessors, querying chain.warmup_period(), or asking for chain.name(),
and the Identity helper was only ever driven by batch (which calls update
only). Doubler's warmup_period and name were similarly dead because
Chain::warmup_period and Chain::name themselves were dead.
Add two new tests at the end of the Chain section in mod tests, immediately
before the parallel-feature-gated test:
- chain_accessors_and_metadata exercises chain.first(), chain.second(),
chain.warmup_period(), chain.name(), and pulls Doubler::warmup_period
+ Doubler::name in via the borrowed accessors.
- identity_helper_full_indicator_surface asserts warmup_period == 0,
name == "Identity", and walks is_ready through both seen=false and
seen=true via an update/reset cycle.
traits.rs is now at 123/123 lines, no behavioural change.
A multi-language technical analysis library: 25 indicators across trend,
momentum, volatility, and volume families, every one a state machine with
O(1) per-tick updates. Batch evaluation is provided by a blanket extension
trait over the streaming primitive, so live trading bots and historical
backtests run the same code path.
What ships in this initial drop:
crates/wickra-core - 25 indicators, Indicator/BatchExt/Chain traits,
OHLCV types with validation; 171 unit tests,
property tests, Wilder/Bollinger textbook tests.
crates/wickra - top-level facade + criterion benches for every
indicator at 1K/10K/100K series sizes.
crates/wickra-data - streaming CSV reader, tick-to-candle aggregator,
multi-timeframe resampler, Binance Spot kline
WebSocket adapter behind feature live-binance;
11 unit + 1 doctest.
bindings/python - PyO3 + maturin, NumPy I/O, type stubs (.pyi),
56 pytest tests including streaming==batch
equivalence, Wilder reference values, lifecycle.
bindings/node - napi-rs native module, TypeScript .d.ts
auto-generated, 7 node --test cases.
bindings/wasm - wasm-bindgen ES module for browser/bundler/Node;
interactive HTML demo at examples/index.html.
examples/ - Python and Rust scripts: backtest, live trading,
parallel multi-asset, multi-timeframe, Binance.
benchmarks/ - cross-library comparison against TA-Lib,
pandas-ta, finta, talipp; Wickra wins every
category by 11-1030x (batch) and 17x+ streaming.
.github/workflows/ - CI matrix (Rust + Python + Node + WASM on
Linux/macOS/Windows), release pipeline for
PyPI wheels and npm.
