kingchenc 5917d4928f E13: add the WASM quickstart and the data-layer wiki page
The wiki had quickstarts for Python, Rust, and Node but none for the
WebAssembly binding, and the wickra-data crate (CSV reader, tick
aggregator, resampler, Binance feed) was not documented anywhere.

- Quickstart-WASM.md: install via npm, building with wasm-pack, and
  streaming/batch/multi-output usage in a browser or bundler.
- Data-Layer.md: the wickra-data crate — CandleReader, TickAggregator
  (including the opt-in gap fill), Resampler/resample_all, and the
  feature-gated Binance live feed.
- Home.md links both from the wiki contents list.

# Wickra
Wickra is a streaming-first technical-indicators library. Every indicator is
implemented in Rust as an O(1) state machine that consumes one input at a
time, and the same engine is exposed through ergonomic bindings for Python,
Node.js, WebAssembly, and Rust itself. The same `update` call you write inside
a live trading loop also drives the historical backtest of that same
strategy — there is no second code path that drifts behind the streaming one.
The project ships 25 indicators across the four classical families (trend,
momentum, volatility, volume) and a small set of supporting types (`Candle`,
`Tick`, `Chain`). The Rust core forbids `unsafe`, so every binding inherits a
memory-safe implementation. Install is one command on every supported
platform: `pip install wickra`, `cargo add wickra`, `npm install wickra` — no
system compilers, no C dependencies, no headers.
Wickra is licensed under the **PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0** license.
Personal projects, research, hobby trading bots, education, non-profits, and
government use are all permitted; commercial sale of the software or of
services built around it is not. If you want to use Wickra commercially,
open an issue on GitHub to discuss a separate license.

## Wiki contents
- [Quickstart: Python](Quickstart-Python.md) — `pip install wickra`, a batch
RSI on a NumPy array, a streaming RSI loop, and the multi-column NaN
pattern that MACD and friends share.
- [Quickstart: Rust](Quickstart-Rust.md) — `cargo add wickra`, batch and
streaming via the `Indicator` and `BatchExt` traits, and the `Chain`
combinator.
- [Quickstart: Node](Quickstart-Node.md) — `npm install wickra`, basic
`SMA` and `MACD` calls, and the current Windows install caveat
(`wickra-win32-x64-msvc@0.1.4` is held by the npm spam filter).
- [Quickstart: WASM](Quickstart-WASM.md) — `npm install wickra-wasm`,
building with `wasm-pack`, and running indicators client-side in a
browser or bundler.
- [Data Layer](Data-Layer.md) — the `wickra-data` crate: the CSV reader,
the tick-to-candle aggregator, the multi-timeframe resampler, and the
Binance live feed.
- [Streaming vs Batch](Streaming-vs-Batch.md) — the conceptual difference
between Wickra's O(1) `update` and the recompute-everything loops in
batch-only libraries, with the benchmark numbers from the project README.
- [Warmup Periods](Warmup-Periods.md) — a verified table of every
indicator's `warmup_period()`, plus the reasoning behind the off-by-one
cases (RSI(14) needs 15 inputs because it needs 14 diffs).
- [Indicator Chaining](Indicator-Chaining.md) — `Chain::new(first, second)`
and `.then(third)`, with a worked EMA(14) → RSI(7) example and the rule
for stacked warmups.
### Indicator reference
Start with [Indicators-Overview.md](Indicators-Overview.md) for the
cross-cutting taxonomy (trend / momentum / volatility / volume) and the
shared `Indicator` trait surface. The per-indicator pages below cover
formulas, parameters, warmup behaviour, edge cases, and verified
Rust / Python / Node examples. They are grouped by family, mirroring the
`indicators/<family>/` directory layout.
**Trend** — smooth the price series to surface direction.
