* feat(core): add microstructure input types (OrderBook, Trade, TradeQuote) New non-OHLCV value types for the order-book / trade-flow indicator family: Level, OrderBook (sorted, uncrossed depth snapshot), Side, Trade (with aggressor side), and TradeQuote (trade paired with prevailing mid). Each has a validating constructor plus a new_unchecked hot-path constructor, with full unit coverage. Adds InvalidOrderBook / InvalidTrade error variants. * feat(core): add 5 order-book microstructure indicators OrderBookImbalanceTop1/TopN/Full (signed depth imbalance), Microprice (size-weighted fair value), and QuotedSpread (top-of-book spread in bps). All consume the OrderBook snapshot type, emit f64, are stateless and ready after the first snapshot, with full unit coverage. Registers a new Microstructure family in the taxonomy. * feat(bindings): expose order-book microstructure indicators Python, Node, and WASM bindings for OrderBookImbalanceTop1/TopN/Full, Microprice and QuotedSpread. Each takes a depth snapshot via four equal-length (bid_px, bid_sz, ask_px, ask_sz) arrays. Python and Node expose a batch over a list of snapshots; WASM exposes per-snapshot update (the streaming model that fits a browser book feed). Regenerates node index.d.ts/.js and registers the new InvalidOrderBook/InvalidTrade arms in the Python error mapping. * test(bindings,fuzz): cover order-book microstructure indicators Python: smoke, reference values, streaming-vs-batch, lifecycle/repr and input validation (mismatched lengths, crossed book, misordered levels, zero levels) for all five order-book indicators. Node: reference values, streaming-vs-batch, and rejection cases. Adds an indicator_update_orderbook fuzz target driving every order-book indicator over arbitrary (incl. degenerate) snapshots. * bench(microstructure): synthetic order-book benchmarks Add a bench_orderbook_input harness and synthesise a five-level book around each candle close (no order-book dataset ships with the repo). Benches the cheapest (top-of-book imbalance) and most-expensive (full-depth imbalance) plus microprice, matching the curated cheapest/expensive-per-family approach. * docs: add Microstructure family + bump indicator counter to 224 README gains the Microstructure family row (order-book imbalance, microprice, quoted spread) and the indicator counter goes 219 -> 224 across seventeen families; CHANGELOG records the new order-book indicators and value types.
Wickra — Node.js
Streaming-first technical indicators for Node.js. npm install wickra —
prebuilt native binary, no system dependencies.
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 Node.js binding (napi-rs); it exposes 200+ streaming-first indicators across sixteen families.
Install
npm install wickra
The native addon ships as a prebuilt binary per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and arm64), selected automatically through optional dependencies. There is nothing to compile.
Quick start
const wickra = require('wickra');
// Batch: run an indicator over a whole array.
const prices = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, (_, i) => 100 + i * 0.1);
const values = new wickra.RSI(14).batch(prices); // null during warmup
// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
const rsi = new wickra.RSI(14);
for (const price of liveFeed) {
const value = rsi.update(price); // no recomputation over history
if (value !== null && value > 70) {
console.log('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:
- Repository & full indicator list: https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra
- Docs (quickstarts, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): https://docs.wickra.org
- Runnable examples:

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.
