Adds seven information-driven bar builders to the **Alt-Chart Bars** family, the final batch of the family-deepening run. Indicator count **507 → 514**. ## Builders All implement the `BarBuilder` trait (`update(Candle) -> Vec<Bar>`), emitting a data-dependent number of completed bars per candle. | Builder | Driver | Bar fields | |---------|--------|-----------| | `RangeBars` | close | open, close, direction | | `TickBars` | OHLCV | open, high, low, close, volume | | `VolumeBars` | OHLCV | open, high, low, close, volume | | `DollarBars` (Lopez de Prado) | OHLCV | + dollar | | `ImbalanceBars` | OHLC | + imbalance, direction | | `RunBars` | OHLC | + length, direction | | `ThreeLineBreakBars` | close | open, close, direction | ## Touchpoints Seven core modules (each with full unit tests), `mod.rs`/`lib.rs` (builders counted, bar element types on their own re-export lines), README family rows, Python/Node/WASM hand-written bindings for the variable-length output (Python tuples + `(k, N)` ndarray; Node `Vec<object>`; WASM array of objects), the `bar_builder_update_candle` fuzz target, dedicated Python + Node tests, the `BAR_BUILDERS` completeness exclusion, and CHANGELOG. ## Verification - `cargo test -p wickra-core --lib` — 4207 passed - `cargo test -p wickra-core --doc` — 464 passed - `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` — clean - `npm test` (node) — 584 passed - `pytest` (python) — 957 passed
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:

- 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.
