Adds ten pairwise `(f64, f64)` indicators to the **Price Statistics** family, completing the A1 stat-arb expansion block.
## Indicators
**Scalar output:**
- **RollingCorrelation** — rolling Pearson correlation of period-over-period *returns* (distinct from level-based `PearsonCorrelation`).
- **RollingCovariance** — rolling covariance of returns.
- **OuHalfLife** — Ornstein–Uhlenbeck half-life of mean reversion of the spread `a − b`.
- **SpreadHurst** — Hurst exponent of the spread (variance-of-lagged-differences fit) for regime detection.
- **DistanceSsd** — Gatev sum-of-squared-deviations between two start-normalised series.
- **BetaNeutralSpread** — rolling OLS regression residual `a − (α + β·b)`.
- **VarianceRatio** — Lo–MacKinlay variance-ratio test on the spread (two params: `period`, `q`).
- **GrangerCausality** — F-statistic for whether `b` predicts `a` (two params: `period`, `lag`).
**Struct output (custom bindings):**
- **KalmanHedgeRatio** — dynamic hedge ratio via a Kalman filter → `{ hedgeRatio, intercept, spread }`.
- **SpreadBollingerBands** — Bollinger bands on the spread → `{ middle, upper, lower, percentB }`.
## Notes
- No new traits or input families: all use the native `Indicator<Input = (f64, f64)>` (precedent `Beta`, `Cointegration`).
- Adds `Error::InvalidParameter` for floating-point constructor parameters (Kalman `delta`/`observation_var`, `num_std`).
- Full Python/Node/WASM bindings; the two struct-output indicators are hand-written, the rest use the pair macros.
- Indicator count 315 → 325; README, family rows, `__init__`, fuzz target, and CHANGELOG updated.
## Verification
- `cargo test --workspace --all-features` — green (2676 core lib + 308 doc).
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` — clean.
- Node: `npm run build && npm test` — 410 passing (`index.d.ts`/`index.js` regenerated).
- Python: `pytest` — 684 passing.
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.
