kingchenc 27f37f5347 docs(python): refresh the binding README's indicator list to 63
The Python binding README still advertised the original 25 indicators and
the four-family list. Bring it in line with the root README: 63 indicators
across the four classical families plus the statistics group.

Wickra — Python bindings

Streaming-first technical indicators powered by a Rust core.

pip install wickra

Quick start

import numpy as np
import wickra as ta

# Batch — TA-Lib-style usage
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14).batch(prices)            # NumPy array; NaN during warmup

# Streaming — feed ticks one at a time
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_prices:
    v = rsi.update(price)                 # O(1) per tick
    if v is not None and v > 70:
        ...

What's included

63 streaming-first indicators across four families plus a statistics group. Every one passes a batch == streaming equivalence test and reference-value tests:

  • Trend — SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, KAMA, SMMA, TRIMA, ZLEMA, T3, VWMA
  • Momentum — RSI (Wilder), MACD, Stochastic, CCI, ROC, WilliamsR, ADX, MFI, TRIX, AwesomeOscillator, Aroon, MOM, CMO, TSI, PMO, StochRSI, UltimateOscillator, PPO, DPO, Coppock, AroonOscillator, Vortex, MassIndex
  • Volatility — BollingerBands, ATR, Keltner, Donchian, PSAR, NATR, StdDev, UlcerIndex, HistoricalVolatility, BollingerBandwidth, PercentB, SuperTrend, ChandelierExit, ChandeKrollStop, AtrTrailingStop
  • Volume — OBV, VWAP, ADL, VolumePriceTrend, ChaikinMoneyFlow, ChaikinOscillator, ForceIndex, EaseOfMovement
  • Statistics — TypicalPrice, MedianPrice, WeightedClose, LinearRegression, LinRegSlope

Why streaming-first matters

Classic TA libraries are batch-only: every live tick triggers a full recomputation over the entire history. Wickra updates indicator state in O(1) per tick. On a 5K-bar history the streaming RSI gap is ~17× over the nearest peer with a streaming API and 100×+ over batch-only libraries.
