Adds the **B6 Bands & Channels** batch — five band/channel indicators, taking the catalogue from 429 to 434.
| Indicator | Input → Output | Summary |
|-----------|----------------|---------|
| `ProjectionBands` | `Candle` → `{upper,middle,lower}` | Widner forward-projected high/low regression envelope |
| `ProjectionOscillator` | `Candle` → `f64` | Close position inside the projection bands, scaled 0..100 |
| `QuartileBands` | `f64` → `{upper,middle,lower}` | Rolling 25th/50th/75th-percentile (Q1/median/Q3) envelope |
| `BomarBands` | `f64` → `{upper,middle,lower}` | Adaptive percentage bands containing a target coverage fraction of recent closes |
| `MedianChannel` | `f64` → `{upper,middle,lower}` | Robust median ± multiplier·MAD envelope |
All five are distinct from existing indicators (verified against the core: `LinRegChannel`, `StandardErrorBands`, `Donchian`, `RollingQuantile`, `HurstChannel`). SKIPped from the roadmap: Price Channel (= `Donchian`) and Moving-Average Channel (≈ `MaEnvelope`/`Keltner`).
Each ships:
- Core indicator with per-branch unit tests (Codecov-strict 100%).
- python / node / wasm bindings (struct outputs are hand-written; `ProjectionOscillator` uses the generated candle→f64 path).
- Fuzz drives, python (`MULTI`/`SCALAR_MULTI`/`CANDLE_SCALAR`) + node test registries, README + CHANGELOG counter bump to 434.
Verified locally: `cargo fmt`, `clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings` (clean), `wickra-core` 3511 lib + 392 doc tests, node 509 tests, pytest 840.
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 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:
- 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.
