kingchenc c6938e8473 docs: refresh the stale Python and Node binding READMEs
The Python binding README still advertised "63 indicators across four
families" with the pre-restructure five-group taxonomy, missing the eight
indicators added since. Update it to "71 indicators across eight families"
with the catalogue grouped to match the main README.

The Node binding README referred to the package as @wickra/wickra in its
title, install command and import example; the published package is named
wickra (per bindings/node/package.json). Correct all three.

# Wickra — Python bindings
Streaming-first technical indicators powered by a Rust core.
```bash
pip install wickra
```
## Quick start
```python
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
71 streaming-first indicators across eight families. Every one passes a
`batch == streaming` equivalence test and reference-value tests:
- **Moving Averages** — SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, KAMA, SMMA, TRIMA,
ZLEMA, T3, VWMA
- **Momentum Oscillators** — RSI (Wilder), Stochastic, CCI, ROC, Williams %R,
MFI, Awesome Oscillator, MOM, CMO, TSI, PMO, StochRSI, Ultimate Oscillator
- **Trend & Directional** — MACD, ADX (+DI/-DI), Aroon, TRIX, Aroon
Oscillator, Vortex, Mass Index, Choppiness Index, Vertical Horizontal Filter
- **Price Oscillators** — PPO, DPO, Coppock, Accelerator Oscillator, Balance
of Power
- **Volatility & Bands** — ATR, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Donchian
Channels, NATR, StdDev, Ulcer Index, Historical Volatility, Bollinger
Bandwidth, %B, True Range, Chaikin Volatility
- **Trailing Stops** — Parabolic SAR, SuperTrend, Chandelier Exit, Chande
Kroll Stop, ATR Trailing Stop
- **Volume** — OBV, VWAP (cumulative + rolling), ADL, Volume-Price Trend,
Chaikin Money Flow, Chaikin Oscillator, Force Index, Ease of Movement
- **Price Statistics** — Typical Price, Median Price, Weighted Close, Linear
Regression, Linear Regression Slope, Z-Score, Linear Regression Angle
## 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.
