Every other Python momentum indicator (RSI, CCI, ...) carries a #[pyo3(signature)] default, but ROC and TRIX required an explicit period. Both now default to the TA-Lib convention (ROC period=10, TRIX period=30), and the .pyi stubs reflect the defaults. Node and WASM constructors deliberately stay explicit-only -- napi-rs and wasm-bindgen do not support default arguments, and every constructor in those bindings is uniformly explicit.
Wickra — Python bindings
Streaming-first technical indicators powered by a Rust core.
pip install wickra
Quick start
import numpy as np
import wickra as ta
# Batch — TA-Lib-style usage
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14).batch(prices) # NumPy array; NaN during warmup
# Streaming — feed ticks one at a time
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_prices:
v = rsi.update(price) # O(1) per tick
if v is not None and v > 70:
...
What's included
25 streaming-first indicators across four families. Every one passes a
batch == streaming equivalence test and reference-value tests:
- Trend — SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, KAMA
- Momentum — RSI (Wilder), MACD, Stochastic, CCI, ROC, WilliamsR, ADX, MFI, TRIX, AwesomeOscillator, Aroon
- Volatility — BollingerBands, ATR, Keltner, Donchian, PSAR
- Volume — OBV, VWAP
Why streaming-first matters
Classic TA libraries are batch-only: every live tick triggers a full recomputation over the entire history. Wickra updates indicator state in O(1) per tick. On a 5K-bar history the streaming RSI gap is ~17× over the nearest peer with a streaming API and 100×+ over batch-only libraries.
