mangrove-kb

Open-source trading signals and technical indicators for Python. Pure Python, no native dependencies.

pip install mangrove-kb

What You Get

• 223 trading signals -- boolean functions that evaluate market conditions on OHLCV DataFrames
• 99 technical indicators -- stateless compute() API returning named Series
• RuleRegistry -- evaluate signals by name with parameter dicts (for strategy engines)
• Docstring parser -- extract structured metadata (type, params, ranges) from any signal at runtime

Dependencies: numpy, pandas. That's it.

Indicators

All indicators use a stateless classmethod API. Pass data and params, get results:

from mangrove_kb.indicators import RSI, MACD, BollingerBands, EMA
from mangrove_kb import sample_ohlcv

df = sample_ohlcv()  # self-contained sample data; or pd.read_csv("your_ohlcv_data.csv")

# RSI
result = RSI.compute(data={"close": df["Close"]}, params={"window": 14})
rsi = result["rsi"]  # pd.Series

# MACD
result = MACD.compute(
    data={"close": df["Close"]},
    params={"window_fast": 12, "window_slow": 26, "window_sign": 9},
)
macd_line = result["macd"]
signal_line = result["signal"]
histogram = result["histogram"]

# Bollinger Bands
result = BollingerBands.compute(
    data={"close": df["Close"]},
    params={"window": 20, "window_dev": 2},
)
upper, middle, lower = result["hband"], result["mavg"], result["lband"]

Available Indicators (70)

Signals

Signals are boolean functions. TRIGGER signals detect events (crossovers, pattern detections). FILTER signals check ongoing state (above/below thresholds).

from mangrove_kb.signals.momentum import rsi_oversold, rsi_overbought
from mangrove_kb.signals.trend import macd_bullish_cross, ema_cross_up
from mangrove_kb.signals.patterns import hammer_trigger, bullish_engulfing_trigger

# Direct function calls
if rsi_oversold(df, window=14, threshold=30.0):
    print("RSI below 30 -- oversold")

if hammer_trigger(df):
    print("Hammer candlestick detected on current bar")

if macd_bullish_cross(df, window_fast=12, window_slow=26, window_sign=9):
    print("MACD crossed above signal line")

Using RuleRegistry

Evaluate signals by name -- useful for strategy engines and configuration-driven systems:

from mangrove_kb import RuleRegistry, sample_ohlcv
# Import signal modules to register them
from mangrove_kb.signals import momentum, trend, volume, volatility, patterns

df = sample_ohlcv()  # self-contained sample data; or bring your own DataFrame

# Evaluate by name
rule = {"name": "rsi_oversold", "params": {"window": 14, "threshold": 30.0}}
is_oversold = RuleRegistry.evaluate(rule, df)

# List all registered signals
print(f"Available signals: {len(RuleRegistry._registry)}")

Signal Categories (223 total)

Signal Metadata

Every signal carries its metadata in its docstring. Extract it at runtime:

from mangrove_kb.docstring_parser import parse_all_signals
from mangrove_kb.signals import momentum, trend, volume, volatility, patterns

metadata = parse_all_signals([momentum, trend, volume, volatility, patterns])

# Example: inspect rsi_oversold
sig = metadata["rsi_oversold"]
print(sig["type"])        # "FILTER"
print(sig["requires"])    # ["Close"]
print(sig["params"])      # {"window": {"type": "int", "min": 2, "max": 100, "default": 14}, ...}

Pattern Signals

27 pattern indicator classes detect candlestick and multi-bar patterns:

from mangrove_kb.indicators import Hammer, BullishEngulfing, MorningStar, NR7

# Hammer detection (returns 1 where detected, 0 otherwise)
result = Hammer.compute(
    data={"open": df["Open"], "high": df["High"], "low": df["Low"], "close": df["Close"]},
    params={"wick_ratio": 2.0, "upper_wick_max": 0.1},
)
hammers = result["hammer"]  # pd.Series of 0/1

# NR7 (Narrowest Range of 7 bars)
result = NR7.compute(
    data={"high": df["High"], "low": df["Low"]},
    params={"window": 7},
)
nr7_bars = result["nr7"]

Data Format

All functions expect a pandas DataFrame with capitalized OHLCV columns:

Timestamp  Open      High      Low       Close     Volume
2024-01-01 42000.0   42500.0   41800.0   42300.0   15000.0

Required columns depend on the signal/indicator (check Requires: in docstrings or metadata).
