Adds six **Volatility & Bands** indicators (Part B5 of the expansion roadmap), 423 → 429. | Indicator | Input → Output | Summary | |-----------|----------------|---------| | `EwmaVolatility` | `f64` → `f64` | RiskMetrics exponentially-weighted volatility (λ decay) | | `Garch11` | `f64` → `f64` | GARCH(1,1) conditional volatility with a long-run-variance anchor | | `BipowerVariation` | `f64` → `f64` | jump-robust realized bipower variation (π/2 · Σ\|rₜ\|\|rₜ₋₁\|) | | `VolatilityRatio` | `Candle` → `f64` | Schwager's true range over the EMA of prior true ranges (>2 = wide-ranging day) | | `VolatilityCone` | `Candle` → `VolatilityConeOutput` | current realized volatility within its min/median/max envelope + percentile | | `VolatilityOfVolatility` | `f64` → `f64` | sample stddev of a rolling realized-volatility series | ### Notes - Two B5 roadmap items were dropped as duplicates/by-construction: `RealizedVolatility` already ships (v0.5.4); `Downside Semi-Deviation` is internal to Sortino. `Bipower Variation` confirmed distinct from `JumpIndicator` (a ±1 flag, not a variance measure). - `VolatilityRatio` implements the widely-charted EMA-of-true-range convention (denominator excludes the current bar so the 2.0 threshold means "twice typical"), distinct from the existing pairwise `variance_ratio`. - `Garch11` mean-reverts to `ω/(1−β)` on a flat series (does not decay to 0 like EWMA) — pinned by a dedicated test. ### Coverage / verification - Full core + Python/Node/WASM bindings, fuzz drivers (scalar + candle), registries, CHANGELOG, README + docs counter sync. - 100% unit-test coverage per indicator (every branch). - Green locally: `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings`, core lib (3479) + doc (387), node (504), python (830). Deep-dive docs for all six are staged for `wickra-docs` and pushed after release (gated).
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.
