Two authoring paths:
- Python (OHLC bars): the default. Fast iteration, full numpy/pandas access.
- Rust (TBBO ticks): for tick-precision microstructure or heavy sweep budgets.

Python is OHLC-only. Rust strategies declare `data_mode = "tick"` or `data_mode = "ohlc"` explicitly.

## Python Indicator

### Decorator

```python
@indicator(
    name: str,                        # display name
    description: str = "",
    overlay: bool = True,             # True = price pane, False = subpane
    required_columns: list[str] = [], # ship only these columns to the worker
)
class MyIndicator:
    ...
```

### Class shape

```python
import numpy as np
from quant_charts import indicator, input, ta, plot, hline, fill, close

@indicator(name="SMA", overlay=True, data_mode="ohlc", required_columns=["close"])
class SMA:
    period = input.int(20, "Period", min=1, max=500)
    color = input.color("#7aa2f7", "Color")

    def calculate(self, df):
        # df: pandas DataFrame with columns timestamp, open, high, low, close, volume
        # df["close"] is a Series. self.period reads the input.
        result = ta.sma(np.asarray(df["close"], dtype=np.float64), self.period)
        plot(result, f"SMA({self.period})", color=self.color, linewidth=2)
```

### Inputs

```python
input.int(default: int, label: str, min=None, max=None, step=1, tooltip="")
input.float(default: float, label: str, min=None, max=None, step=0.1, tooltip="")
input.bool(default: bool, label: str, tooltip="")
input.color(default_hex: str, label: str)            # 6-char or 8-char hex (alpha)
input.string(default: str, label: str, options=None) # options=[...] for dropdown
input.source(default: str, label: str)               # "close" | "open" | ...
input.timeframe(default: str, label: str)            # "1m" | "5m" | "1h" | ...
```

### Plotting

```python
plot(series, name, color="#2962FF", linewidth=1, plot_type=PlotType.LINE,
     opacity=100, colors=None, align=None, width_px=60)
# plot_type: LINE | HISTOGRAM | COLUMNS | CROSS | CIRCLES | AREA | STEPLINE
# colors: per-bar override list (HISTOGRAM/COLUMNS/CROSS/CIRCLES only)
# align: "pinned_left" | "pinned_right" | "left_of_range" | "right_of_range" | "over_range"

hline(value, name, color="#787B86", linewidth=1, linestyle="dashed")
# linestyle: "solid" | "dashed" | "dotted"

fill(name1, name2, color="#2962FF", opacity=20)
# both names must already be plotted via plot()

# Convenience wrappers for per-bar colored variants
plot_histogram_colored(series, name, base_color, colors)
plot_columns_colored(series, name, base_color, colors)
plot_cross_colored(series, name, base_color, colors)
plot_circles_colored(series, name, base_color, colors)
```

### Bar styling and shapes

```python
bar_color(condition_array, color)        # body color where True
wick_color(condition_array, color)
border_color(condition_array, color)
set_bar_color(idx, color)                # one-off override at index idx
plotshape(condition_array, location="abovebar", shape="triangleup", color="#22c55e", text=None)
# location: "abovebar" | "belowbar" | "atbar"
# shape: "triangleup" | "triangledown" | "circle" | "cross" | "arrowup" | "arrowdown"

bgcolor(condition_array, color)          # background tint of the price pane
draw_box(start_ts, end_ts, top, bottom, color)  # rectangle on the chart
```

### Signal helpers (vectorized; return bool arrays unless noted)

```python
cross_above(a, b)      # True only on the bar where a crosses up through b
cross_below(a, b)
above(a, b)            # continuous: True wherever a > b
below(a, b)
between(x, lo, hi)     # inclusive: lo <= x <= hi
rising(series, n=1)    # series[i] > series[i-n]
falling(series, n=1)
barssince(condition)   # int array: bars elapsed since condition was last True
valuewhen(condition, source, occurrence=0)  # source value at the Nth most recent True
imbalance(bid_size, ask_size)               # 0..1, 0.5 = neutral
cvd(signed_volume)                          # cumulative
vwap_band(typical, volume, dev=2.0)         # (vwap, upper, lower)
```

### TA namespace

```python
ta.sma(series, period)
ta.ema(series, period)
ta.wma(series, period)
ta.rsi(series, period)
ta.macd(series, fast=12, slow=26, signal=9)   # returns (macd, signal, hist)
ta.atr(high, low, close, period)
ta.bollinger_bands(series, period=20, std=2)  # returns (mid, upper, lower)
ta.stochastic(high, low, close, k_period=14, d_period=3)
ta.stddev(series, period)
ta.highest(series, period)
ta.lowest(series, period)
ta.change(series, n=1)
ta.roc(series, period)
```

### Custom canvas (free-form 2D)

```python
from quant_charts import custom_layer, Y_MIN, Y_MAX, X_MIN, X_MAX

layer = custom_layer("layer-name", z="top")  # z: "top" | "bottom"
layer.style(stroke="#fff", fill="#fff20", line_width=1.0, alpha=1.0, dash=None)

# Path-style
layer.begin().move_to((x, y)).line_to((x, y)).close().stroke()

# Shapes
layer.rect((x1, y1), (x2, y2)).fill()
layer.arc((cx, cy), radius_px, start_rad, end_rad).stroke()

# Text
layer.text((x, y), "label", font_size=11, color="#fff", align="center")
# align: "left" | "center" | "right"

layer.emit()  # call once per layer; submits to renderer

# Coordinates: x = timestamp_ms (i64), y = price (f64).
# Sentinels Y_MIN, Y_MAX, X_MIN, X_MAX resolve to viewport edges per paint.
```

### Tags and trade modification (also used by strategies)

```python
define_tag(name: str, label: str, color: str = "#a1a1aa")
# Metadata only. Tag bool arrays travel through the calculate() return dict
# and power the analyzer's per-tag stats.

# There is no trigger API. Modify trades through the calculate() return dict:
#   sl_long / tp_long / sl_short / tp_short  - per-bar levels; engine ratchets
#                                              them favorably (trailing stops)
#   exit_long / exit_short                   - close an open position
#   block_entries                            - truthy bar = block NEW entries
# Helpers (import from quant_charts):
#   breakeven_when(entries, entry_price, tag, offset_ticks=0)  -> sl array
#   shift_levels(levels, tag, ticks)                            -> shifted array
```

### Composing indicators from strategies

```python
from quant_charts import use_indicator

# inside a strategy's calculate():
sma20 = use_indicator("sma", period=20)   # filename without .py, kwargs map to inputs
```

### Logging

```python
log("message")          # info
warn("message")
debug("message")        # only shown in dev mode
print_series(series, name="x")
print_df(df, n=10)
```

---

## Python Strategy

### Decorator

```python
@strategy(
    name: str,
    description: str = "",
    overlay: bool = True,
    timeframe: Timeframe = Timeframe.M1,    # M1 M5 M15 M30 H1 D1 etc
    required_columns: list[str] = [],
    uses_sltp: bool = False,                # True to emit sl/tp arrays
    emit_sltp: str | None = None,           # "entry_only" | "per_tick" (when uses_sltp=True)
)
class MyStrategy:
    ...
```

### Return shape

```python
def calculate(self, df) -> dict:
    return {
        "entry_long":  bool_array_or_series,  # True = enter long at bar i
        "exit_long":   bool_array_or_series,
        "entry_short": bool_array_or_series,
        "exit_short":  bool_array_or_series,

        # optional SL/TP arrays (only with uses_sltp=True)
        "sl_long": float_array, "tp_long": float_array,
        "sl_short": float_array, "tp_short": float_array,

        # any other key is auto-classified as a tag bool array
        "my_tag": bool_array,
    }
```

### Day-start hoisting (sweep performance)

```python
from quant_charts import day_start

class MyStrategy:
    @day_start
    def prep(self, df):
        # runs ONCE per day per worker, before the param sweep loop
        close = np.asarray(df["close"], dtype=np.float64)
        atr14 = ta.atr(np.asarray(df["high"]), np.asarray(df["low"]), close, 14)
        return {"close": close, "atr14": atr14}

    def calculate(self, df):
        close = self._day["close"]    # read from the prep dict
        atr14 = self._day["atr14"]
        # ... only swept-period TA here ...
```

Rules:
- numpy conversion belongs in @day_start, not calculate
- literal-period TA belongs in @day_start
- only swept-period TA stays in calculate
- day-level scalars (medians, regime labels) belong in @day_start

### Complete strategy example

```python
import numpy as np
from quant_charts import (
    strategy, day_start, input, ta, cross_above, cross_below,
    define_tag, Timeframe,
)

@strategy(
    name="EMA Cross",
    overlay=True, timeframe=Timeframe.M5, data_mode="ohlc",
    required_columns=["close"], uses_sltp=False,
)
class EMACross:
    fast = input.int(9, "Fast", min=2, max=200)
    slow = input.int(21, "Slow", min=2, max=400)

    @day_start
    def prep(self, df):
        return {"close": np.asarray(df["close"], dtype=np.float64)}

    def calculate(self, df):
        close = self._day["close"]
        f = ta.ema(close, self.fast)
        s = ta.ema(close, self.slow)
        bull = cross_above(f, s); bear = cross_below(f, s)
        define_tag("bull", "Long entry", color="#22c55e")
        define_tag("bear", "Short entry", color="#ef4444")
        return {
            "entry_long": bull, "exit_long": bear,
            "entry_short": bear, "exit_short": bull,
            "bull": bull, "bear": bear,
        }
```

### Microstructure conventions

- Long entry fills at ASK, long exit fills at BID (and short reversed).
- All internal timestamps are unix MILLISECONDS (i64).
- Trading day = Eastern Time. A "Monday" session starts Sunday 6pm ET.
- Conflict on same bar: if entry_long[i] and entry_short[i] are both True, neither triggers.

### Available global price series (Pine-style)

```python
from quant_charts import (
    open, high, low, close, volume,
    delta, vwap,                                  # extended OHLC fields
    hl2, hlc3, ohlc4,                            # composite prices
    bid_price, ask_price, mid_price, spread,     # TBBO fields
    bid_size, ask_size, bid_vol, ask_vol,
    hour, minute, second, day_of_week,           # time components (ET)
    is_tick_mode, is_ohlc_mode, is_native_ohlc,  # mode predicates
)

# These are PriceSeries objects. Use df["close"] inside calculate() rather
# than the global; the global is for inline expressions like volume_series().
```

### Column resolvers (parquet shape portable)

```python
volume_series(df)   # volume -> bid_vol+ask_vol -> tickCount -> zeros
delta_series(df)    # delta -> ask_vol-bid_vol -> zeros
vwap_series(df)     # vwap column or computed from typical*volume
df_col_or(df, name, fallback)
```

## Backtest Results & Notebook Workflow

Two ways to obtain a `BacktestResults` object inside a notebook:

### A) Run inline from Python

```python
import quant_charts as qc

# single backtest
r = qc.run('strategies/foo.py',
           data='ES.parquet',
           date_range=('2026-04-15', '2026-04-15'),
           params={'fast': 9, 'slow': 21})
r.summary()
r.monte_carlo(1000)
r.mae_mfe_analysis()

# parameter sweep
opt = qc.optimize('strategies/foo.py',
                  data='ES.parquet',
                  date_range=('2026-04-15', '2026-04-15'),
                  grid={'fast': range(5, 21), 'slow': range(15, 50)})
opt.top(10)

# walk-forward analysis
wfa = qc.wfa('strategies/foo.py',
             data='ES.parquet',
             date_range=('2026-04-01', '2026-04-30'),
             in_sample_days=10, out_of_sample_days=5,
             grid={'fast': range(5, 21)})
```

### B) Load a saved run by name

```python
qc.runs()                      # DataFrame of saved runs (newest first)
r = qc.load_run('ema_cross_a') # restore by name
qc.delete_run('ema_cross_a')   # clean up
qc.save_run('my_combo')        # persist whatever's in memory under a name
```

Run names must be alphanumeric plus `_-.`. Runs are explicit-save-only:
calling `qc.save_run(name)` persists the in-memory results under that
name. Subsequent runs do NOT overwrite saved entries; saved data persists
until `qc.delete_run(name)`.

### BacktestResults surface (analysis API on `r`)

```python
r.summary()                        # comprehensive stats DataFrame
r.plot_equity()                    # matplotlib equity curve
r.plot_mae_mfe()
r.optimal_stop_loss(95)            # 95th percentile MAE
r.optimal_take_profit(75)
r.plot_sl_optimization((5, 100, 5))
r.plot_sl_tp_heatmap(sl_range=(10,80,5), tp_range=(5,40,5))
r.monte_carlo(1000)                # bootstrap simulation

opt.heatmap('fast', 'slow')
opt.where(sharpe__gt=1.0)

## Common Pitfalls

- Timestamps internally are unix MILLISECONDS (i64). Lightweight Charts wants seconds; the engine handles that conversion.
- Trading day boundaries are Eastern Time. Sun 6pm ET starts the Monday session. NEVER filter weekends by UTC dayofweek.
- Long entry fills at ASK, long exit fills at BID (microstructure). Short is the reverse.
- TBBO files do not always have volume/delta/vwap columns. Always use `volume_series(df)` (Python) or `data.has_volume()` (Rust) before reading them.
- @day_start belongs on a method of the strategy class, not at module level. The runner introspects the class.
- input.int(0.5, ...) is invalid: int wants ints, float wants floats.
- input.color hex must be 6 or 8 chars. `#FFF` shortform is rejected.
- Mid-typing values in inputs are not commited until blur or Enter; that is intentional UX, not a bug.

## Compact runnable examples

### Python: RSI with bands

```python
import numpy as np
from quant_charts import indicator, input, ta, plot, hline, PlotType

@indicator(name="RSI", overlay=False, data_mode="ohlc", required_columns=["close"])
class RSI:
    period = input.int(14, "Period", min=2, max=200)
    overbought = input.int(70, "Overbought", min=50, max=100)
    oversold = input.int(30, "Oversold", min=0, max=50)

    def calculate(self, df):
        v = ta.rsi(np.asarray(df["close"], dtype=np.float64), self.period)
        plot(v, "RSI", color="#7aa2f7", linewidth=2)
        hline(self.overbought, "OB", color="#ef4444", linestyle="dashed")
        hline(self.oversold, "OS", color="#22c55e", linestyle="dashed")
        hline(50, "Mid", color="#3a3a45", linestyle="dotted")
```

### Python: SMA-cross strategy with SL/TP

```python
import numpy as np
from quant_charts import strategy, input, ta, cross_above, cross_below, Timeframe

@strategy(name="SMA Cross with SL/TP",
          timeframe=Timeframe.M5, data_mode="ohlc",
          required_columns=["close", "high", "low"], uses_sltp=True,
          emit_sltp="entry_only")
class SMAXSL:
    fast = input.int(10, "Fast", min=2, max=200)
    slow = input.int(30, "Slow", min=2, max=400)
    sl_atr = input.float(2.0, "SL x ATR", min=0.1, max=10.0, step=0.1)
    tp_atr = input.float(3.0, "TP x ATR", min=0.1, max=10.0, step=0.1)

    def calculate(self, df):
        close = np.asarray(df["close"], dtype=np.float64)
        high = np.asarray(df["high"], dtype=np.float64)
        low = np.asarray(df["low"], dtype=np.float64)
        f = ta.sma(close, self.fast); s = ta.sma(close, self.slow)
        atr = ta.atr(high, low, close, 14)
        return {
            "entry_long": cross_above(f, s),
            "exit_long":  cross_below(f, s),
            "entry_short": cross_below(f, s),
            "exit_short":  cross_above(f, s),
            "sl_long":  close - self.sl_atr * atr,
            "tp_long":  close + self.tp_atr * atr,
            "sl_short": close + self.sl_atr * atr,
            "tp_short": close - self.tp_atr * atr,
        }
```

### Rust: simple imbalance strategy

```rust
use qc_strategy_api::prelude::*;

#[strategy(name = "Imbalance Mini", data_mode = "tick")]
#[tag(name = "long_entry", color = "#26A69A")]
#[derive(Default)]
pub struct ImbalanceMini {
    #[param(default = 200, min = 1, max = 200000)] pub smooth: usize,
    #[param(default = 0.10, min = 0.01, max = 0.49, step = 0.01)] pub threshold: f64,
}

impl Strategy for ImbalanceMini {
    fn calculate(&self, data: &TickData, _prep: &DayPrep) -> SignalOutput {
        let n = data.len();
        let imb = imbalance(&data.bid_size, &data.ask_size);
        let s = if self.smooth > 1 { rolling_mean(&imb, self.smooth) } else { imb };
        let mut el = vec![false; n]; let mut xl = vec![false; n];
        let mut es = vec![false; n]; let mut xs = vec![false; n];
        for i in 0..n {
            if !s[i].is_finite() { continue; }
            if s[i] > 0.5 + self.threshold { el[i] = true; xs[i] = true; }
            if s[i] < 0.5 - self.threshold { es[i] = true; xl[i] = true; }
        }
        SignalOutput::new(el, xl, es, xs)
    }
}
