kingchenc cb6da4d737 feat(data-layer): Resampler (candle resampling) in all 10 languages (#310)
* feat(data-layer): Resampler (candle resampling) in all 10 languages

Second data-layer feature (F3): resample candles into a higher timeframe.

- Native (Node.js/WASM): new Resampler(timeframe) -> update(o,h,l,c,v,ts):
  Candle|null + flush(): Candle|null. Python the same -> tuple|None.
- C ABI: wickra_resampler_new/update/flush/free (update has the multi-output
  shape so the generators auto-emit it; flush is bespoke). Go Update -> (Candle,
  bool) + Flush; C# Candle? Update/Flush; Java Candle update/flush; R update()
  generic + a flush() S3 method (extends base::flush); C/C++ direct.
- Cross-language golden (testdata/golden/data_resampled.csv): the shared input
  candles resampled into 5-unit buckets, the final partial bucket via flush,
  pinned bit-for-bit across every binding.

Verified locally in all 10 (3 candles for the 5-unit smoke; 16 for the golden).
The WickraCandle output record is shared with the tick aggregator (deduped).

* test(node): exclude data-layer types from the indicator completeness contract

The Resampler exposes update(), so the completeness test flagged it as an
indicator and required batch/reset/isReady/warmupPeriod, which a data-layer type
does not have. Exclude TickAggregator and Resampler like the bar builders.

Wickra — Python

CI codecov PyPI License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

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 WASM, plus a C ABI for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R and any other C-capable language. 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 all 514 streaming-first indicators across twenty-four 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.

Benchmark

Two benchmarks ship with the binding:

  • benchmarks/throughput.py — streaming and batch updates-per-second for SMA, ATR and MACD. This is per-binding FFI overhead (the same Rust core runs under every binding), not a cross-library ratio.
  • benchmarks/compare_libraries.py — the cross-library comparison against TA-Lib, pandas-ta, tulipy and finta that backs the headline speedups.
maturin develop --release
python -m benchmarks.throughput
python -m benchmarks.compare_libraries   # cross-library; auto-detects installed peers

See the repository BENCHMARKS.md.

Documentation

The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in the main repository and documentation site:

Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WASM and Rust, plus a C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) links against — all exposing 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.
