# ferro_ta_core
`ferro_ta_core` is the pure Rust indicator engine behind [`ferro-ta`](https://github.com/pratikbhadane24/ferro-ta).
It provides allocation-friendly indicator functions over `&[f64]` slices without any
PyO3, NumPy, or Python runtime dependency, which makes it a good fit for:
- Rust-native technical analysis workloads
- custom services and backtesting engines
- non-Python bindings (WASM, FFI)
## Installation
```toml
[dependencies]
ferro_ta_core = "1.1.4"
```
## Design
- Pure functions over Rust slices
- No Python or NumPy dependency
- Shared core for the Python package and WASM bindings
- Output shape matches TA-Lib-style full-length series with `NaN` warm-up values where applicable

## Example
```rust
use ferro_ta_core::overlap;
fn main() {
let close = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0];
let sma = overlap::sma(&close, 3);
assert!(sma[0].is_nan());
assert!(sma[1].is_nan());
assert!((sma[2] - 2.0).abs() < 1e-10);
}
```
## Relationship To `ferro-ta`
The published Python package (`ferro-ta` on PyPI) wraps this crate with PyO3 bindings and adds NumPy conversion, pandas/polars wrappers, and higher-level Python tooling. The WASM package (`ferro-ta-wasm` on npm) also wraps this crate with full feature parity.
If you only need Rust indicator functions, use `ferro_ta_core` directly.
## Development
From the repository root:
```bash
cargo build -p ferro_ta_core
