kingchenc 2be21df803 feat: order-book microstructure indicators (part 1 of 4) (#112)
* 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 — WebAssembly

CI codecov npm License: PolyForm-NC

Streaming-first technical indicators in the browser. npm install wickra-wasm — pure WebAssembly, runs anywhere a modern JS engine does.

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 dashboards and historical backtests share the exact same implementation. This package is the WebAssembly binding (wasm-bindgen, built for the web target); it exposes 200+ streaming-first indicators across sixteen families.

Install

npm install wickra-wasm

Quick start

The module ships a default init export that loads the .wasm payload; await it once before constructing indicators.

import init, { RSI } from 'wickra-wasm';

await init(); // load the WebAssembly module once

// Streaming: feed prices tick by tick in O(1).
const rsi = new RSI(14);
for (const price of liveFeed) {
  const value = rsi.update(price); // null during warmup
  if (value !== null && value > 70) {
    console.log('overbought');
  }
}

Constructors mirror the other bindings (new SMA(20), new MACD(12, 26, 9), new BollingerBands(20, 2.0), …); update() returns the latest value or null while the indicator is still warming up.

Documentation

The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in the main repository and documentation site:

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.
