wickworks

wickworks is the dumb-as-rocks OHLC analyzer. You send bars over HTTP with a list of the indicators you want, and it sends those indicators back. 50 indicator series (RSI, MACD, Bollinger, ADX, Ichimoku and the rest, mostly computed by pandas-ta), plus Smart Money Concepts objects (order blocks, fair value gaps, BOS/CHoCH, swing structure, support and resistance) and a handful of last-bar summaries.

No database, no queue, no state, no signals. It tells you the order block sits at 1.0832 and the RSI is 71.4. What that means for a trade is your strategy’s job, and it belongs in your code.

Quick start

docker run --rm -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 psyb0t/wickworks:latest

curl -s http://localhost:8000/health

{
  "ok": true,
  "version": "0.7.1"
}

Then post bars. Each bar is time (UTC unix seconds), open, high, low, close and volume, oldest first. With bars.json holding a request body:

{
  "symbol": "EURUSD",
  "timeframe": "H1",
  "bars": [
    {
      "time": 1700000000,
      "open": 1.0832,
      "high": 1.0851,
      "low": 1.0828,
      "close": 1.0844,
      "volume": 1247
    }
  ],
  "indicators": {
    "rsi": true,
    "rsi21": {
      "type": "rsi",
      "length": 21
    },
    "macd": true,
    "orderBlocks": true
  }
}

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8000/ \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d @bars.json

The response holds symbol, timeframe, candles, and one entry per key in indicators: rsi, rsi21, macd, orderBlocks. Nothing you did not ask for. One bar is not enough for any of these, so a real request sends at least 50 bars (the REST API page explains the per-indicator minimums).

What it will not do

wickworks returns measurements, never trading signals. There is no divergence detection, no moving-average cross events, no buy or sell tags. Everything in a response is a raw indicator series, a structural fact (an order block formed at this bar, price closed past this swing), or a summary of those at the last bar. If you want crosses or divergences, build them on top of the series in your own consumer.

It also has no market data of its own. You bring the bars.
