Minimal Technical Analysis Library for Python

This package offers a curated list of technical analysis indicators implemented in Cython for optimal performance. The library is built around numpy arrays and provides interfaces for numpy, pandas and polars.

Interfaces

Mintalib offers three dedicated interfaces for different workflows:

  • Functions (mintalib.functions) — eager functions for NumPy arrays and pandas or polars series.
  • Indicators (mintalib.indicators) — composable indicators for pandas-based workflows.
  • Expressions (mintalib.expressions) — composable expression factories for polars-native workflows.

Conventions

Indicators and Expressions expect prices DataFrames to have lowercase column names such as open, high, low, close, and volume. If your data uses different capitalization, use the normalize_prices utility function to normalize its column names.

from mintalib.utils import normalize_prices

prices = normalize_prices(rawprices)

Functions

Concrete functions are available from the mintalib.functions module with names in lower case like sma, atr, macd, etc.

Functions accept NumPy arrays, pandas Series, or polars Series as inputs. Single-output functions preserve the input container type when possible; multi-output functions return an appropriate tabular or named result.

import mintalib.functions as ta

prices = ... # pandas or polars DataFrame

sma = ta.sma(prices['close'], period=50)
atr = ta.atr(prices['high'], prices['low'], prices['close'], 14)
macd = ta.macd(prices['close'])  # macd, macdsignal, macdhist result

Indicators (pandas only)

Indicators are available from mintalib.indicators with upper-case names such as SMA, EMA, ATR, and MACD.

Indicators bind calculation functions and their parameters together into callable objects. They are particularly useful with pandas DataFrame.assign.

from mintalib.indicators import SMA, EMA, ROC, RSI, MACD

prices = ... # pandas DataFrame

result = prices.assign(
    ema20 = EMA(20),
    rsi = RSI(14),
    trend = EMA(20) | ROC(1)
)

Expressions (polars only)

Polars expression factories are available from mintalib.expressions with upper-case names such as SMA, EMA, ATR, and MACD.

Their signature is parameters first like period followed by optional expression inputs like src for single series indicators, or open, high, low, close, volume for multi-input expressions.

Series expressions can be composed with the .pipe method, as in pl.col("close").pipe(EMA, 20). Multi-output calculations such as MACD return a polars struct expression that you can unpack with .struct.unnest().

from mintalib.expressions import EMA, ATR, ROC, MACD

prices = ... # polars DataFrame

result = prices.with_columns(
    EMA(20).alias("ema"),
    ATR(14).alias("atr"),
    EMA(20).pipe(ROC, 1).alias("trend"),
    MACD().struct.unnest()
)

Installation

pip install mintalib

Mintalib requires Python 3.11 or newer. The base install includes only NumPy; add pandas and/or polars for their corresponding objects and interfaces.

Prebuilt cp311-abi3 wheels are available for regular CPython 3.11 and newer on Linux (x86_64 and ARM64), macOS (Intel and Apple silicon), and Windows (x64). Supported installations therefore do not need a local C compiler.

Dependencies

  • python >= 3.11
  • numpy
  • pandas [optional]
  • polars [optional]
