* docs: standardise language naming and add binding security sections Canonical binding list everywhere: Rust, Python, Node.js, WASM, C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R. Use C# (not .NET) as the language label, WASM (not WebAssembly) in prose, and frame the C ABI as a hub rather than a list item. - Bump stale indicator counts (200+ -> 514) and family count (sixteen -> twenty-four) in the Node/Python/WASM and docs READMEs. - Add a short Security section to all eight binding READMEs. - Relabel benchmark rows (C -> C / C++, C# / .NET -> C#). - Fix the 'language stecker' wording in the C#/Go/R API intros. - Documentation only; no code or public API changes. * release.yml: extend install snippets and expose version output Add the missing registry installs to the release body (dotnet, go, Gradle/ Maven Central, r-universe) alongside cargo/pip/npm, and expose a v-stripped 'version' output from the tag step for the Gradle coordinate. Also fix the C-ABI language order in the assets note (C# before Go). * release.yml: correct the release body (10 languages, all registries) Reframe the tagline to '10 languages' (native Rust/Python/Node.js/WASM + a C ABI hub for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) instead of '4 language registries', note that C#/Java/Go/R publish to NuGet/Maven/Go/r-universe via their own jobs, and tidy the Node.js label and the C-ABI hub list.

Wickra — C#
Streaming-first technical indicators for C#. dotnet add package Wickra —
prebuilt native library, no system dependencies.
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 C# binding; it consumes the
C ABI hub through [LibraryImport] P/Invoke and exposes all 514 streaming-first
indicators as idiomatic IDisposable classes.
Install
dotnet add package Wickra
The native library ships prebuilt per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and
arm64) under runtimes/<rid>/native/, selected automatically. There is nothing
to compile. Targets .NET 8 and later.
Quick start
using Wickra;
// Batch: run an indicator over a whole series (NaN at warmup positions).
var prices = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000).Select(i => 100.0 + i * 0.1).ToArray();
using var sma = new Sma(20);
double[] values = sma.Batch(prices);
// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
using var rsi = new Rsi(14);
foreach (var price in liveFeed)
{
var value = rsi.Update(price); // NaN during warmup, no recomputation
if (double.IsFinite(value) && value > 70)
{
Console.WriteLine("overbought");
}
}
Batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through Update() produce identical
values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite. Multi-output indicators
(MACD, Bollinger, ADX, …) return a nullable record struct, null while warming up.
Benchmark
benchmarks/ reports streaming and batch updates-per-second for SMA, ATR
and MACD. It measures this binding's FFI overhead, not a cross-library ratio
(the same Rust core runs under every binding) — see the repository
BENCHMARKS.md §3.

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.

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.
