Trend Indicators

AlligatorBands

• Description: Calculates Bill Williams Alligator Indicator which consists of three smoothed moving averages (jaw, teeth, lips) shifted into the future.
• Usage:

  alligator_result = AlligatorBands(df, "high", 13, 8, 5, jaw_shift=8, teeth_shift=5, lips_shift=3)
  df['jaw'] = alligator_result['jaw']
  df['teeth'] = alligator_result['teeth']
  df['lips'] = alligator_result['lips']
  

BollingerTrend

• Description: Determines the trend based on the distance between short and long Bollinger Bands.
• Usage:

  df['BBTrend'] = BollingerTrend(df, "close", 20, 50, 2.0)
  

EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

• Description: Calculates the Exponential Moving Average, which gives more weight to recent prices.
• Usage:

  df['ema'] = EMA(df, "close", 21)
  

HMA (Hull Moving Average)

• Description: Computes the Hull Moving Average, a smoother moving average with reduced lag.
• Usage:

  df['hma'] = HMA(df, "close", 9)
  

LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average)

• Description: Uses linear regression to determine the least squares moving average.
• Usage:

  df['lsma'] = LSMA(df, "close", 50)
  

SMA (Simple Moving Average)

• Description: Computes the Simple Moving Average, which is the unweighted mean of the previous data points.
• Usage:

  df['sma'] = SMA(df, "close", 50)
  

WMA (Weighted Moving Average)

• Description: Calculates the Weighted Moving Average with linear weights.
• Usage:

  df['wma'] = WMA(df, "close", 9)
  

ZLEMA (Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average)

• Description: Calculates an Exponential Moving Average adjusted for lag.
• Usage:

  df['zlema'] = ZLEMA(df, "close", 21)
  

Practical example

Example script:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Import necessary libraries
import pandas_ta as pta
import bamboo_ta as bta
import pandas as pd
from pandas import DataFrame
import numpy as np

# create dataframe and read the json data in the datasets directory
df = pd.read_json("./testdata/BTC_USDT-1d.json")
# name the columns that are loaded into the dataframe
df.columns = ['date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume']
# the date column consists of unix time in milliseconds, so this command changes this data into human readable form.
df['date'] = (pd.to_datetime(df['date'], unit='ms'))

print(df)  # This command outputs the dataframe

# Using the pandas_ta library
df['imi_ema'] = pta.ema(close=df['close'], length=7)

df['lsma'] = bta.calculate_lsma(df, 14)  # Using the bamboo_ta library

print(df)

Creating the Python pip package (personal notes)

After creating and testing the code, make a Python pip package as follows:

In the library folder, create the package

python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

Before uploading the package to Pypi it is wise to test the package on your system.

Load the package to the system with:

pip install .

After you've checked that everything is worknig correctly, then use the following command to upload to Pypi. You'll have to install twine for this (pip install twine or sudo apt install twine).

# Check first

twine check dist/*

# Test upload first

twine upload -r testpypi dist/*

# Upload to Pypi

twine upload dist/*

Note: uploading new versions requires to delete the older versions from the /dist folder.

Another option is to use the --skip-existing option like this:

twine upload -r --skip-existing testpypi dist/*
twine upload --skip-existing dist/*

Uploading with 2FA enabled

First create an API token (at https://test.pypi.org/manage/account/token/).

Create a file .pypirc in your home folder (e.g. nano $HOME/.pypirc)

Add the given token to the file like this:

[testpypi]
  username = __token__
  password = pypi-AgENdalaljdljhdalkHTaddsdSQtMjBjOS00ZjgxLWIyZDMtYWViMDAwOTk3MWZmAAIqWzMsImU3YjkzMGVmLWQzMFmZkZCJdAAAGIB6NZ-rSrzc8UXj38ijwCRmZwkFLnhhNP

Save the file and reload environment if necessary.

Now you an upload libraries without having to use the password.
