* feat(core): add PairwiseBeta cross-asset indicator
Rolling OLS slope of one asset's log-returns on another's. Unlike Beta,
which regresses the raw inputs it is fed, PairwiseBeta differences
consecutive prices into log-returns internally -- the conventional way to
measure cross-asset beta, where a beta on price levels would be dominated
by the shared trend.
Two-series Indicator<Input = (f64, f64)>, exposed in Rust, Python, Node
and WASM, with unit/known-value/streaming tests and a pair fuzz target.
* feat(core): add PairSpreadZScore cross-asset indicator
Standardised log-spread ln(a) - beta*ln(b) of a pair, where beta is a
rolling-OLS hedge ratio and the spread is z-scored over its own look-back.
The canonical mean-reversion / statistical-arbitrage entry signal, with
independent beta_period and z_period windows.
Two-series Indicator<Input = (f64, f64)>, exposed in Rust, Python, Node
and WASM, with sign/known-value/streaming tests and a pair fuzz target.
* feat(core): add LeadLagCrossCorrelation cross-asset indicator
Reports the integer offset k in [-max_lag, max_lag] that maximises
|corr(a[t], b[t+k])|, answering which of two assets leads the other and by
how many bars. A positive lag means a leads b. Fully causal: a's window is
held centred while b's window slides across the buffered history, so every
lag is evaluated only against data already seen.
Struct output { lag, correlation }, exposed in Rust, Python, Node and WASM
with lead-detection/streaming tests and a pair fuzz driver.
* feat(core): add Cointegration (Engle-Granger + ADF) indicator
Rolling pairs-trading screen: an OLS hedge ratio of a on b, the spread
(residual) a - (alpha + beta*b), and an augmented Dickey-Fuller t-statistic
on the spread with configurable lags. A strongly negative statistic flags a
mean-reverting, tradeable spread. Includes a small Gaussian-elimination
solver for the augmented regression.
Struct output { hedge_ratio, spread, adf_stat }, exposed in Rust, Python,
Node and WASM with stationarity/hedge-ratio/streaming tests and a pair fuzz
driver.
* feat(core): add RelativeStrengthAB cross-asset indicator
Comparative relative strength of two assets: the ratio line a/b together
with its moving average and its RSI, the classic asset-vs-asset /
asset-vs-index rotation screen. Composes the existing Sma and Rsi over the
ratio; a zero denominator or non-finite price is skipped.
Struct output { ratio, ratio_ma, ratio_rsi }, exposed in Rust, Python, Node
and WASM with flat/rising-ratio/streaming tests and a pair fuzz driver.
* test(cointegration): cover ADF guard branches
The ADF helper's short-series and degrees-of-freedom guards and the
zero-dispersion (perfect AR) path are unreachable through the public
Cointegration API (period >= 2*adf_lags + 4), so exercise them with direct
unit tests on adf_no_constant. The second linear solve cannot be singular
once the coefficient solve on the same matrix has succeeded, so it now uses
expect() instead of a dead error branch.
Wickra — Python
Streaming-first technical indicators for Python. pip install wickra — no
system dependencies, no C build tooling.
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and bindings for Python, Node.js, and WebAssembly. Every indicator is an O(1) streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share the exact same implementation. This package is the Python binding (PyO3); it exposes 200+ streaming-first indicators across sixteen families.
Install
pip install wickra
Pre-built wheels ship for Linux, macOS, and Windows — there is nothing to compile and no C library to track down.
Quick start
import numpy as np
import wickra as ta
# Batch: classic TA-Lib-style usage over a whole array.
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
values = rsi.batch(prices) # numpy array, NaN during warmup
# Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_feed:
value = rsi.update(price) # no recomputation over history
if value is not None and value > 70:
print("overbought")
batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through update() produce
identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.
Documentation
The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in the main repository and documentation site:

- Docs (quickstarts, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): https://docs.wickra.org

Wickra ships four bindings — Python, Node.js, WebAssembly, and Rust — that all
expose the same indicators from the shared, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.
Disclaimer
Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own risk. The library is provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
