done when

• Fix: # (no open issue covers this; found by comparing the documented
  get_fractal syntax in docs/_indicators/Fractal.md and the @overload
  stubs in fractal.py against the implementation)

the details

The documented symmetric form of get_fractal is

get_fractal(quotes, window_span=2, end_type=EndType.HIGH_LOW)

but the implementation did not accept those keyword names:

• indicators.get_fractal(quotes, window_span=2) raised
  TypeError: get_fractal() got an unexpected keyword argument 'window_span'.
• indicators.get_fractal(quotes, 2, end_type=EndType.CLOSE) returned
  results computed with EndType.HIGH_LOW — the keyword was silently
  ignored. On the repo's 502-quote test series the keyword form returned
  the HIGH_LOW counts (63 fractal_bear / 71 fractal_bull) instead of the
  CLOSE counts (64 / 69) returned by the equivalent positional form
  get_fractal(quotes, 2, EndType.CLOSE), with differing values.

This change reworks the argument handling in get_fractal so that:

• window_span is accepted as a keyword argument for the symmetric form,
  and cannot be combined with left_span/right_span (TypeError).
• An EndType passed as the second positional argument (the existing
  symmetric positional form) and an end_type keyword are resolved to a
  single effective value; giving both with different values raises
  ValueError instead of silently dropping one.
• All previously working call forms are unchanged: no arguments,
  positional span, positional EndType, and the
  left_span, right_span, end_type form.

Three regression tests were added to tests/test_fractal.py
(test_window_span_keyword, test_end_type_keyword_window_form,
test_end_type_keyword_only). They fail on the previous implementation
(TypeError, and 63/71 counts where 64/69 were expected) and pass with
this change.

get_fractal now accepts window_span and honors the end_type keyword. I traced the existing call forms (no arguments, positional span, positional EndType, and left_span, right_span, end_type) through the old and new code, and they behave the same. The three new success-path tests would fail on the old implementation.

One non-blocking item: the new TypeError and ValueError guards, and the window_span + end_type combination, have no tests (see the inline comment).

Two small behaviour changes, noted for awareness and not flagged:

• get_fractal(quotes, right_span=3) now runs with left_span=2 instead of erroring.
• A call with two conflicting end_type values (for example get_fractal(quotes, 2, EndType.CLOSE, EndType.HIGH_LOW)) used to ignore the fourth argument and now raises.

Use a non-default span in testwindowspankeyword.

70-80: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Use a non-default span in test_window_span_keyword.

The test passes window_span=2, which equals get_fractal's default. It can pass if the keyword is ignored. Use window_span=4 and assert the span-4 results.

Suggested fix

-        # Documented form: get_fractal(quotes, window_span=2, end_type=...)
-        results = indicators.get_fractal(quotes, window_span=2)
+        # Documented form: get_fractal(quotes, window_span=4, end_type=...)
+        results = indicators.get_fractal(quotes, window_span=4)

         assert 502 == len(results)
-        assert 63 == len(list(filter(lambda x: x.fractal_bear is not None, results)))
-        assert 71 == len(list(filter(lambda x: x.fractal_bull is not None, results)))
+        assert 35 == len(list(filter(lambda x: x.fractal_bear is not None, results)))
+        assert 34 == len(list(filter(lambda x: x.fractal_bull is not None, results)))

         r = results[3]
-        assert 215.17 == round(float(r.fractal_bear), 2)
+        assert r.fractal_bear is None
         assert r.fractal_bull is None

Update test_window_span_keyword to use a non-default window_span of 4 and
replace its expected fractal counts and sample assertions with the corresponding

Also in c36133b, per the CodeRabbit nitpick: test_window_span_keyword now uses window_span=4 and asserts the span-4 counts and values.

The failing indicators check is the Codacy coverage upload (Empty argument for --project-token). Fork PRs don't get that secret; the tests themselves passed.

_{Change and reply prepared with Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code).}

[DaveSkender]

Apologies, I've accommodated the underlying problem with Codacy (from forks) in #466 and have updated your branch from base with those changes.

Reviewed the full diff (fractal.py argument handling and new tests in test_fractal.py). No findings. The rework resolves window_span and end_type keywords correctly, preserves every previously working call form (no args, positional span, positional EndType, left/right/end_type), and raises explicit errors for conflicting spans or differing end_type values instead of silently dropping one. The new tests cover the keyword forms, the conflict errors, and the same-value-twice case; CI checks are green.
