bamboo-ta 0.1.5

TA library for Pandas

bamboo-ta

Why this library

Bamboo-ta is a personal project that consolidates various Technical Analysis Indicators for trading into a single library. It’s primarily built for personal use, with a focus on data analysis of candlestick data to develop new (algorithmic) trading strategies. It can also serve as an auxiliary library for indicators in trading bots.

This library includes not only some of the most popular indicators (like MACD, RSI, SMA, EMA, and more), but also more obscure (and possibly brand new) indicators such as ‘Waddah Attar Explosion’ and ‘Bollinger Bands Trend Indicator’. For more information on the available indicators, please refer to the indicator category pages.

While Bamboo-ta complements other popular TA libraries like TA-lib, Pandas-ta, qtpylib, and others, it is not intended to replace them. There will likely be many indicators that are better served by these other libraries.

Bamboo-ta is designed with a focus on simplicity and modularity. It aims to be easy to use and maintain. If you’re seeking a library for complex indicator applications, you might want to consider other options.

Social

See my Youtube channel for Freqtrade tutorials, Tradingview knowledge and video's about trading strategies and algorithms I tested.

See my Patreon page for all the algorithmic strategies code (trading algorithms and automated backtests). These are all based on the Freqtrade trading bot btw.

For the Strategy League (an overview of all the trading strategies/algorithms I tested) go to dutchalgotrading.com. Ths league contains a ranked list with all the tested strategies I present on my Youtube channel and Patreon page

How to Use This Module

Using the complete module all at once.

1. Importing the complete library: Import the library into your Python scripts or Notebook.

   import bamboo_ta as bta
   

   Additionally import Pandas and Numpy too:

   import pandas as pd
   from pandas import DataFrame
   import numpy as np
   

2. Build the dataframe: The dataframe should be build as follows for the fastest results.

   df = pd.read_json("./BTC_USDT-1d.json")
   df.columns = ['date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume']
   df['date'] = (pd.to_datetime(df['date'], unit='ms'))
   

3. Applying Indicators: Use the imported indicators on your data.

   df['ao'] = bta.AwesomeOscillator(df, 'high', 'low', 5, 34)['ao']
   

   Or

   lr_df = bta.LinRegCandles(df)
   df['lrc_open'] = lr_df['bopen']
   df['lrc_high'] = lr_df['bhigh']
   df['lrc_low'] = lr_df['blow']
   df['lrc_close'] = lr_df['bclose']
   df['lrc_signal'] = lr_df['signal']
   

Or individual indicators.

1. Importing Indicators: Import the necessary submodules or individual indicators directly from bamboo_ta.

   from bamboo_ta.trend import AlligatorBands
   

2. Applying Indicators: Use the imported indicators on your data.

    alligator_result = bta.AlligatorBands(df, 'close', 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']
   

Practical example

Example script:

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

# Create dataframe
# create dataframe and read the json data in the datasets directory
df = pd.read_json("./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'))

fscg = bta.EhlersFisherStochasticCenterOfGravity(df)
df['CG'] = fscg['CG']
df['Trigger'] = fscg['Trigger']

print(df.tail(40))

Disclaimer !!!

Most of the indicators I configured are tested agains a dataset from Binance (BTC/USDT) and verified with the same indicators on Tradingview. However I will and cannot guarantee the workings and accuracy.

I personally use these indicators to build my own trading strategies, for backtesting and manual & bot trading using the Freqtrade trading bot. So it is in my own personal best interest to make these indicators work as accurately as possible.

You are welcome to do suggestions and report bugs if you find these. But I will handle these on a 'best effort' base. I believe that the pressure of maintaining larger and popular libraries will lead to abandonment of the project by the original developer(s) at some point in time. And I do not want this to happen with this project (although no guarantees here too...).
So be patient and the proposed suggestions might be handled all in good time.
