Wires real indicators into complete signal -> fill -> PnL -> equity
loops over the checked-in BTCUSDT datasets, with per-trade Sharpe and
max-drawdown reported on stdout. Closes the gap where existing
examples showed only the mechanics of calling `update`/`batch` but not
how Wickra plugs into a trading-system shape.
Three strategies, each in Rust + Python (six files total):
- strategy_rsi_mean_reversion — RSI(14) thresholds (30/70) on 1h
BTCUSDT. Binary position, 0.1% per-trade fee.
- strategy_macd_adx — MACD crossover entries gated by ADX(14) > 20 on
1h BTCUSDT. Trend-follower demo of multi-indicator gating.
- strategy_bollinger_squeeze — Bollinger-bandwidth 180-day-low squeeze
+ upper-band breakout entry, ATR(14) * 2 stop. On 1d BTCUSDT for
interpretable lookback.
Each file is self-contained — print_summary is inlined per script so
the example stays a single-file read. Every script prints a
NOT-financial-advice notice next to its results.
examples/README.md updated to list the new bins/scripts.
Python had no sibling for the Rust `fetch_btcusdt` data-generator —
adding it closes the "fetch (data-gen)" cell for Python and lets users
without a Rust toolchain regenerate the bundled BTCUSDT datasets.
* examples/python/fetch_btcusdt.py — uses only the standard library
(urllib.request + json + csv); same pagination strategy as the Rust
version (paginate backwards via `endTime`, drop the in-progress
bucket, sort and trim to the configured target). Applies the same
OHLC validity check the Rust `Candle::new` constructor enforces
(finite fields, high >= low/open/close, low <= open/close,
volume >= 0) so a malformed kline is skipped rather than written.
* Number formatting matches Rust's `f64` Display: shortest round-trip,
no trailing `.0` for whole-number floats. Verified by running the
script and `git diff`-ing against the checked-in dataset: every row
older than the run is byte-identical to Rust's output; the diff only
shows the most recent ~24 hours where Binance has produced fresh
candles since the original snapshot.
examples/README.md gains the new row.
Python and Rust both lacked a standalone "streaming indicators" example
that mirrors examples/node/streaming.js — the quickstart docs cover the
pattern, but a runnable file makes the parity visible across all four
languages.
* examples/python/streaming.py — argparse-driven synthetic streaming demo
feeding SMA(20) / EMA(20) / RSI(14) / MACD(12,26,9), tagging BUY?/SELL?
candidates when RSI extremes and MACD-histogram direction agree.
* examples/rust/src/bin/streaming.rs — same demo as a wickra-examples
binary, reusing the seeded LCG so its first 40 rows are bit-identical
to the Python (and Node) sibling — a strong cross-language consistency
signal verified by running both side by side.
* examples/README.md gains a `streaming` row in the Rust and Python tables.
backtest.py and multi_timeframe.py read OHLCV CSVs with csv.DictReader
and crashed opaquely on malformed input: a missing column raised a bare
KeyError, a non-numeric cell surfaced NumPy's column-less ValueError,
and an empty or all-NaN series hit IndexError deep in summarize.
Validate the header against the required columns up front, catch
non-numeric cells and report the offending row/column, reject a
header-only file distinctly from a headerless one, and guard resample
and summarize against empty input. Every failure mode now raises a
ValueError naming the file, row and column.
Two issues in the live_trading example:
- The status line rendered indicator values with `... if snap.rsi
else "--"`. A genuine reading of 0.0 is falsy, so an RSI / MACD
histogram / Bollinger value of exactly zero was misreported as "--".
Switch to explicit `is not None` checks.
- --symbol and --interval were interpolated straight into the stream
name and WebSocket URL with no checks. Add validate_args: the symbol
must be strictly alphanumeric and the interval must be one Binance
recognises. main() validates before connecting and exits with a clear
error and code 2 otherwise; the strict values keep the URL well-formed
without escaping.
The combined Binance stream interleaves the kline payloads with
subscription acks, heartbeats and error objects. The example pulled
k = payload.get("k", {}) and immediately did float(k.get("c")) — for
any non-kline frame k is {}, k.get("c") is None, and float(None) raises
TypeError, crashing the script the moment it connects.
Skip frames without a kline payload (no "k" object, or no "c" close
field) with a debug log line, matching the C2 fix on the Rust adapter.
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.
