fugazi (Python)

Python bindings for fugazi, a library of incremental, composable technical-analysis primitives.

  • Incremental — every indicator and signal carries its own state and is advanced one sample at a time with update(), in ~O(1) and with no full-history recomputation. The same object serves live streaming and batch backtesting.
  • Composable — indicators own their input source, so you build complex indicators and signals by nesting constructors. There is no pipe or glue step: an "EMA of an SMA of the close" is literally ta.ema(ta.sma(ta.close(), 10), 20), and a trade condition is a single object you can feed bars.

Install

pip install fugazi

Then import fugazi. Prebuilt wheels are published for Linux, macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon) and Windows.

To build from a checkout instead (for development):

pip install maturin
maturin develop --release   # editable install into the active virtualenv

Quick start

You build indicators by nesting constructors. Every indicator is rooted at a leaf source — usually a candle field (close(), high(), volume(), ...):

import fugazi as ta

ema = ta.ema(ta.close(), 20)                  # EMA-20 of the close
node = ta.ema(ta.sma(ta.close(), 10), 20)     # EMA-20 of an SMA-10 — just keep nesting

The root decides what the indicator consumes. A candle-rooted indicator takes Candles (any of OHLCV); to work on a bare stream of numbers instead, root it at identity() — the leaf that passes raw values straight through:

prices = ta.rsi(ta.identity(), 14)            # RSI of a plain float series

Then drive it one of two ways: streaming (a bar at a time) or batch (a whole series at once). They share the same indicators; pick by how your data arrives.

What you feed update()/feed() follows from the root: a candle-rooted indicator consumes candles, an identity()-rooted one consumes plain numbers.

Streaming API — one sample at a time

Feed one sample to update(); it returns a float, or None until warmed up. This is the live/incremental path. Every node also has value() (or is_true() for a boolean Signal), is_ready(), and reset().

node = ta.ema(ta.sma(ta.close(), 10), 20)        # candle-rooted

for o, h, l, c, v in bars:
    value = node.update(ta.Candle(o, h, l, c, v))   # feed a Candle -> float | None
    print(value)

prices = ta.rsi(ta.identity(), 14)               # identity-rooted
for px in [100.0, 101.5, 100.8]:
    prices.update(px)                            # feed a float

Batch API — a whole series at once

feed(data) computes every bar in one call. For a candle-rooted indicator, data is a dataframe with OHLCV columns — pandas and polars both work (also a dict of columns) — and only the columns an indicator needs have to be present:

import pandas as pd      # or: import polars as pl

# df is your OHLCV frame (open/high/low/close/volume columns)
df["ema20"] = ta.ema(ta.close(), 20).feed(df)   # assigns straight back
ta.atr(14).feed(df)                             # uses high/low/close
ta.vwap().feed(df)                              # uses high/low/close/volume

Column names are matched case-insensitively (Close/CLOSE/close), and close is required. An identity()-rooted indicator instead takes a plain 1-D series — a list, NumPy array, or pandas/polars Series:

ta.ema(ta.identity(), 20).feed([100.0, 101.5, 100.8, 102.3, 101.9])
ta.ema(ta.identity(), 20).feed(df["close"])

(The root is the contract: a candle indicator won't silently treat a bare array as the close, and a value indicator won't accept a frame — pick the root that matches your data.)

The output mirrors the input library, one value per bar, with warm-up bars as NaN (so the result lines up with your rows and assigns straight back):

Input Indicator Multi-line (macd, bollinger, …) Signal
pandas Series (index preserved) DataFrame (one column per line) bool Series
polars Series DataFrame bool Series
list / dict / NumPy ndarray dict of ndarrays bool ndarray
ta.ema(ta.close(), 20).feed(df)            # pandas Series, df.index
ta.macd(ta.close()).feed(df)               # pandas DataFrame: macd/signal/histogram
ta.macd(ta.identity()).feed(prices_list)   # {"macd": ndarray, "signal": ndarray, ...}

(If NumPy isn't installed, list/dict input falls back to plain Python lists.)

feed is itself incremental — it just loops update over the batch through the node's own state and never auto-resets. So calling it on successive chunks continues the same stream: the warm-up is paid once, and the concatenated outputs equal a single feed over the whole series. This is what lets you process data as it arrives without recomputing history:

node = ta.sma(ta.identity(), 3)
x1 = node.feed(series1)         # warms up, emits for series1
x2 = node.feed(series2)         # continues from where series1 left off
# np.concatenate([x1, x2]) == ta.sma(ta.identity(), 3).feed(series1 + series2)

node.reset()                   # call reset() to start a fresh, independent pass

A source can be reused after you pass it into a constructor:

src = ta.close()
fast = ta.ema(src, 10)
slow = ta.ema(src, 20)   # `src` is still usable here

Indicators

Constructor Output
open() high() low() close() volume() typical() median() the candle field
identity() the raw value stream (root for a bare numeric series)
value(x) a constant
sma ema rma wma hma rsi stddev stochastic cci (source, period) a value
stoch_rsi(source, rsi_period=14, stoch_period=14) a value
atr mfi williams_r (period) a value
obv() vwap() ad() true_range() a value
sar(step=0.02, max=0.2) a value
macd(source, fast=12, slow=26, signal=9) dict {macd, signal, histogram}
bollinger(source, period=20, k=2.0) dict {upper, middle, lower}
keltner(source, ema_period=20, atr_period=10, multiplier=2.0) dict {upper, middle, lower}
donchian(high, low, period) dict {upper, middle, lower}
adx(period) dict {plus_di, minus_di, adx}
dmi(period) dict {plus_di, minus_di}
aroon(period) dict {up, down, oscillator}

Multi-line indicators return a dict of their named lines (or None while warming up).

Operators

Combine value indicators into other indicators:

ta.close().add(other)        # also: sub, mul, div  — or the + - * / operators
ta.close().lag(1)            # also: diff, ratio, roc
ta.close().rolling_max(20)   # also: rolling_min

...or into signals (booleans):

fast.gt(slow)                        # also: lt, ge, le, eq, ne  (optional epsilon=...)
ta.rsi(ta.close(), 14).above(70.0)   # also: below(level)
fast.crosses_above(slow)             # also: crosses_below

Signals compose with each other and update to a bool:

sig = a.and_(b)     # also: or_, xor_, not_(), changed()  — or  a & b | ~c
sig.update(candle)  # -> bool

Example

"Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA while RSI is not already overbought" — one signal, usable either way:

import fugazi as ta

def golden():
    return (
        ta.ema(ta.close(), 12)
          .crosses_above(ta.ema(ta.close(), 26))
          .and_(ta.rsi(ta.close(), 14).below(70.0))
    )

# streaming: react bar by bar
signal = golden()
for bar in stream:
    if signal.update(bar):
        print("entry signal")

# batch: a boolean Series/array over the whole frame
entries = golden().feed(df)

Trading: the wallet

The strategy layer is exposed as a wallet you trade into. There is no strategy class to subclass — a "strategy" in Python is just your own code that, each bar, reads signals and calls wallet methods. PaperWallet is the built-in, in-memory book (funds + positions + a trade blotter); live execution belongs in your own code, not here.

import fugazi as ta

wallet = ta.PaperWallet(10_000.0)          # seed with cash

wallet.update("AAPL", 185.0)               # feed the price each tick (before trading)

# set: absolute target (opposite side reverses) · set_position: absolute units · close: flat
wallet.set("AAPL", "buy", 10)                       # target 10 units (a number = units)
wallet.set("AAPL", "buy", ta.Size.value_frac(0.25)) # target 25% of equity
wallet.set("AAPL", "buy", ta.Size.position_frac(0.5))  # trim to 50% of the position
wallet.set_position("AAPL", 4)                      # drive straight to 4 units
wallet.close("AAPL")                                # flatten

wallet.funds                 # cash balance
wallet.position("AAPL")      # signed position (negative = short)
wallet.price("AAPL")         # last fed price (or None)
wallet.positions()           # {symbol: units}
wallet.equity()              # funds + positions marked at the fed prices
wallet.orders()              # the blotter: list of Order(symbol, side, units)

The wallet is fed each symbol's price with update(symbol, price) and is otherwise market-agnostic. Sizes are an absolute number of units, or ta.Size.funds_frac(f) (cash) / ta.Size.value_frac(f) (equity; 1.0 is all-in) / ta.Size.position_frac(f); sides are "buy"/"sell". A movement that can't be carried out — no/zero price fed, or a buy beyond available funds — raises ValueError. A full strategy loop — price the wallet, advance every signal each bar, then act:

enter = ta.sma(ta.close(), 3).crosses_above(ta.sma(ta.close(), 10))
exit_ = ta.sma(ta.close(), 3).crosses_below(ta.sma(ta.close(), 10))
wallet = ta.PaperWallet(10_000.0)

for o, h, l, c, v in bars:
    candle = ta.Candle(o, h, l, c, v)
    wallet.update("AAPL", c)                          # price the wallet
    went_long, went_flat = enter.update(candle), exit_.update(candle)
    if went_long:
        wallet.set("AAPL", "buy", ta.Size.value_frac(1.0))   # all-in long
    elif went_flat:
        wallet.close("AAPL")
