kingchenc 4d0bc08efd feat: TA-Lib candlestick patterns — gap-three-methods/stalled/stick-sandwich/takuri (part 8 of 9) (#140)
Adds five TA-Lib candlestick patterns, each a streaming `Indicator<Input = Candle, Output = f64>` emitting the family's uniform `±1.0 / 0.0` sign convention, fully wired across the Rust core, Python / Node / WASM bindings, fuzz target and reference tests.

- **Upside Gap Three Methods** (`CDLXSIDEGAP3METHODS`) — a 3-bar bullish continuation: two white candles gap up, then a black candle opens within the second body and closes within the first; bullish +1.
- **Downside Gap Three Methods** (`CDLXSIDEGAP3METHODS`) — the bearish mirror: two black candles gap down, then a white candle opens within the second body and closes within the first; bearish -1.
- **Stalled Pattern** (`CDLSTALLEDPATTERN`) — a 3-bar bearish reversal warning: two long white candles then a small white candle riding the shoulder, signalling the rally is stalling; bearish -1.
- **Stick Sandwich** (`CDLSTICKSANDWICH`) — a 3-bar bullish reversal: two black candles closing at the same level sandwich a white candle, marking a support floor; bullish +1.
- **Takuri** (`CDLTAKURI`) — a single-bar bullish reversal, a strict Dragonfly Doji with a negligible upper shadow and very long lower shadow; bullish +1.

Body and shadow thresholds follow the geometric house style (fixed fractions of the bar range) rather than TA-Lib's rolling averages. Upside / Downside Gap Three Methods share the `CDLXSIDEGAP3METHODS` code, so the second carries a manual CHANGELOG entry (as with Rising / Falling Three Methods).

Counter 279 → 284 (mod-count == lib counted block; FAMILIES total 274 → 279).

Stacked on #139 (`feat/cdl-lines`); base retargets to `main` once the predecessor merges.

Wickra — Python

CI codecov PyPI License: PolyForm-NC

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:

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.
