* test: golden-pin the four de-duplicated indicators across all C-ABI bindings Extend gen_golden to emit reference fixtures for AdOscillator (ADOSC), IntradayIntensity, AwesomeOscillatorHistogram and AverageDrawdown, and replay them through the Go / C# / Java / R golden harnesses so their corrected definitions stay bit-identical to the Rust core in every binding. Go suite verified locally (gcc 13 + cgo): all 9 golden tests pass; C#/Java/R use the same fixtures and harness pattern (CI-verified). First step of extending the golden coverage beyond the seven archetype representatives. * test: golden-pin the scalar-output tranche (308 indicators) against Rust Extend gen_golden with a generated emit_scalar that writes reference fixtures for every single-f64-output indicator (scalar / candle / pairwise input) using valid constructor params, and add a manifest-driven generic Python golden replay that reconstructs each by its native name and checks it bit-for-bit against the Rust output. 308 indicators now value-tied to the Rust core in Python (pytest: 308/308). Takes golden coverage from the 7 archetype representatives to 308+ of the catalogue. 22 scalar indicators with non-default constructor constraints are skipped by gen_golden for now (logged), as are non-f64-output ones; multi-output, exotic inputs and the per-indicator arg arities of the C-ABI/Node replays follow. Generated + verified locally with the full toolchain. * test: golden-pin the multi-output tranche (70 indicators) in Python Add a generated emit_multi to gen_golden (per-indicator Output-field access, one CSV column per field) and a manifest-driven generic Python replay that checks every field of each multi-output indicator against the Rust reference. 70 multi-output indicators now value-tied to Rust in Python; combined with the scalar tranche, 378 indicators are golden-pinned. 8 multi with non-default param constraints and 5 with non-f64 Output fields (Option/Vec/i64) are deferred. pytest green. * test(golden): add 30 constraint-tuned indicators to scalar/multi golden suite Emit golden fixtures for 22 scalar-output and 8 multi-output indicators whose constructors need non-default parameters (Alma, Jma, Psar, T3, Mama, DoubleBollinger, ZigZag, ...). All 408 fixtures replay bit-for-bit through the Python binding. * test(golden): cover 36 missed scalar/multi indicators Add 26 single-output (LinearRegression family, HT cycle, Candle volatility estimators, DrawdownDuration) and 10 multi-output (BollingerBands, MACD/MACDEXT/MACDFIX, Camarilla, VWAP bands, ...) indicators to the golden suite. 444 fixtures replay bit-for-bit through the Python binding. * test(golden): cover 50 exotic-input indicators Add deterministic synthetic feeders for the DerivativesTick (17), CrossSection (15), Trade (8), TradeQuote (3) and OrderBook (7) families, derived from the shared OHLCV input series in both gen_golden and a new Python replay harness (test_golden_exotic). All 494 fixtures replay bit-for-bit through the Python binding. * test(golden): complete 514-indicator golden coverage Add the final tranches: 3 mixed multi-output indicators (Ichimoku, WilliamsFractals, LeadLagCrossCorrelation), 6 histogram profiles (time/volume seasonality + TPO/volume price profiles), 10 alt-chart bar builders and the footprint. Every one of the 514 distinct indicators now has a Rust-generated g_<Canonical>.csv fixture and a generic Python replay (scalar/multi/exotic/profile/bars), all passing bit-for-bit. * test(golden): add generic Node replay for all 514 indicators A manifest-driven node:test harness reconstructs every indicator by its native class, feeds the same synthetic stream derived from the shared golden input, and checks output bit-for-bit against the Rust reference fixtures (scalar/multi/exotic/profile/bars). node_manifest.json is generated from index.d.ts plus the Python-side manifests. 514/514 pass. * test(golden): add generated Go replay for all 514 indicators golden_all_test.go (generated by gen_golden_test.py) reconstructs every Go indicator, feeds the shared synthetic stream and checks output bit-for-bit against the Rust reference fixtures. A reflection-based comparator flattens multi-output structs, profiles and bar slices so one path covers all archetypes. This is the first C-ABI binding verified across the full catalogue. 514/514 pass. * test(golden): add generated C# replay for all 514 indicators GoldenAllTests.g.cs (generated by gen_golden_test.py) reconstructs every C# indicator, feeds the shared synthetic stream and checks output bit-for-bit against the Rust reference fixtures via a reflection-based flatten covering scalar/multi/profile/bar archetypes. 514/514 pass. Also add the '#nullable enable' directive the compiler requires to the generated Indicators.g.cs, clearing the four CS8669 warnings on the nullable double[] profile return types. * fix(java): marshal C ABI bool params correctly; add 514 golden replay The Java FFM binding marshalled the cross-section state flags (newHigh, newLow, aboveMa, onBuySignal) as JAVA_DOUBLE arrays, but the C ABI takes them as const bool* (one byte each), so the native side read the low byte of each 8-byte double and saw every flag as false. Add WickraNative. boolSegment and use it across the 15 cross-section indicators. Also pass the MacdExt MaType arguments as byte to match the uint8_t downcall descriptor (was int, throwing WrongMethodTypeException). Add GoldenAllTest.java (generated by gen_golden_test.py): a reflection runner replaying all 514 indicators against the Rust reference fixtures. The bugs above were found by this test; 514/514 now pass. * fix(r): marshal C ABI bool flags correctly; add 514 golden replay The R wrapper passed the cross-section state flags as (bool *)REAL(x), reinterpreting the 8-byte doubles as 1-byte bools so the native side read every flag as false. Add wk_bool_vec to convert each flag vector into a real C bool buffer and use it for all 15 cross-section update wrappers. Add test-golden-all.R + generated golden_specs.R: a reflective runner replaying all 514 indicators against the Rust reference fixtures. The bug above was found by this test; verified 514/514 pass locally. * test(golden): add WASM replay for all 514 indicators A manifest-driven node:test harness loads the nodejs-target wasm-pack build, reconstructs every indicator by its JS class, feeds the shared synthetic stream and checks output bit-for-bit against the Rust reference fixtures. wasm_manifest.json is generated from the wasm .d.ts plus the shared manifests; a recursive flattener covers scalar, multi (Reflect objects), profile and bar shapes. 514/514 pass locally (wasm-pack build --target nodejs, then node --test). * test(golden): add C and C++ replay for all 514 indicators golden_test.c (generated by gen_golden_test.py) drives every indicator through the C ABI (wickra.h) and checks output bit-for-bit against the Rust reference fixtures. golden_test.cpp #includes the same source so the identical runner is compiled and run under both gcc (C) and g++ (C++) via the CMake targets golden_test / golden_test_cpp — proving the extern "C" header is consumable from each language. Both 514/514 (verified via ctest). * test(golden): gofmt the generated Go golden replay * test(golden): make the Node fixture reader CRLF-safe and pin fixtures to LF
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 WASM, plus a C ABI for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R and any other C-capable language. 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 all 514 streaming-first indicators across twenty-four 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.
Benchmark
Two benchmarks ship with the binding:
benchmarks/throughput.py— streaming and batch updates-per-second forSMA,ATRandMACD. This is per-binding FFI overhead (the same Rust core runs under every binding), not a cross-library ratio.benchmarks/compare_libraries.py— the cross-library comparison against TA-Lib, pandas-ta, tulipy and finta that backs the headline speedups.
maturin develop --release
python -m benchmarks.throughput
python -m benchmarks.compare_libraries # cross-library; auto-detects installed peers
