Adding New Indicators

1. Register in TA-Lib Registry (src/talib_registry.py):

def register_custom_indicator(self):
    self.indicators["custom_indicator"] = IndicatorDefinition(
        name="custom_indicator",
        category=IndicatorCategory.MOMENTUM,
        description="Custom indicator description",
        # ... other parameters
    )

2. Implement Calculation (src/enhanced_indicators.py):

def calculate_custom_indicator(self, data, params):
    # Implementation here
    return result

3. Add Tests (tests/test_enhanced_mcp.py):

def test_custom_indicator():
    # Test implementation
    pass
