## Summary Adds a new **Chart Patterns** indicator family (counter 351 → 359, families 21 → 22), the first half of the A4 roadmap item (the harmonic patterns follow in a second PR). All eight detectors are built on a shared, non-repainting swing-pivot tracker — the internal, **uncounted** `indicators::pattern_swing` module (declared `pub(crate) mod`, re-exported nowhere). Each consumes candles and emits the uniform pattern sign convention already used by the candlestick family — `+1.0` bullish / `-1.0` bearish / `0.0` otherwise, never `None`. They are parameter-free, baking the swing threshold (5%) and level tolerance (3%) in as documented constants, mirroring how candlestick patterns bake in their geometric thresholds. ## Detectors | Indicator | Signal | |-----------|--------| | `DoubleTopBottom` | twin-peak / twin-trough reversal | | `TripleTopBottom` | three matching extremes (stronger reversal) | | `HeadAndShoulders` | central head + matching shoulders + flat neckline (and inverse) | | `Triangle` | ascending (+1) / descending (-1) / symmetrical | | `Wedge` | rising wedge (-1) / falling wedge (+1) | | `FlagPennant` | shallow consolidation against a pole → continuation | | `RectangleRange` | flat support/resistance mean-reversion | | `CupAndHandle` | rounded base + shallow handle (and inverse) | ## Touchpoints Core modules + `FAMILIES` group and assert, crate root re-exports, Python/Node/WASM bindings via the candle-pattern macros (Node `index.d.ts`/`index.js` regenerated), the candle fuzz target, Python reference + `CANDLE_SCALAR` registry tests and the Node candle-scalar factory, README catalogue counter + banner cache-buster + family table row + family-count word, `docs/README.md` counter, and the changelog. ## Verification - `cargo test -p wickra-core --lib` — 2915 passed - `cargo test -p wickra-core --doc` — 335 passed - `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` — clean - Node `npm run build && npm test` — 436 passed - Python `maturin develop --release` + `pytest` — 732 passed Every detector branch is unit-tested; multi-condition predicates were flattened to single-line precomputed booleans to keep patch coverage at 100%.
Wickra — WebAssembly
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:
- Repository & full indicator list: https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra
- Docs (quickstarts, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): https://docs.wickra.org
- Runnable browser 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.
