quantalib 0.8.2

High-performance technical analysis wrappers over QuanTAlib NativeAOT

quantalib — Python NativeAOT Wrapper

High-performance Python wrapper for QuanTAlib, a .NET NativeAOT technical analysis library.

Features

• ~391 indicators across 15 categories: channels, core, cycles, dynamics, errors, filters, momentum, numerics, oscillators, reversals, statistics, trends (FIR & IIR), volatility, volume
• Zero-copy FFI — ctypes bridge to pre-compiled NativeAOT shared library
• NumPy native — all inputs/outputs are float64 arrays
• Optional pandas support — pass pd.Series in, get pd.Series out with preserved index
• pandas-ta compatible — quantalib._compat provides alias mapping for drop-in migration

Installation

pip install quantalib

Note: The NativeAOT shared library (quantalib_native.dll / .so / .dylib) must be present in quantalib/native/<platform>/. Pre-built binaries are included in wheel distributions.

Quick Start

import numpy as np
import quantalib as qtl

close = np.random.randn(200).cumsum() + 100

# Simple Moving Average
sma = qtl.sma(close, length=20)

# Bollinger Bands (multi-output → tuple or DataFrame)
upper, mid, lower = qtl.bbands(close, length=20, std=2.0)

# With pandas
import pandas as pd
s = pd.Series(close, name="close")
rsi = qtl.rsi(s, length=14)  # returns pd.Series with preserved index
