Tutorial

Initialization

StockDataFrame works as a wrapper for the pandas.DataFrame. You need to Initialize the StockDataFrame with wrap or StockDataFrame.retype.

import pandas as pd
from stockstats import wrap

data = pd.read_csv('stock.csv')
df = wrap(data)

Formalize your data. This package takes for granted that your data is sorted by timestamp and contains certain columns. Please align your column name.

• date: timestamp of the record, optional.
• close: the close price of the period
• high: the highest price of the interval
• low: the lowest price of the interval
• volume: the volume of stocks traded during the interval

Note these column names are case-insensitive. They are converted to lower case when you wrap the data frame.

By default, the date column is used as the index. Users can also specify the index column name in the wrap or retype function.

Example: DataFrame loaded from CSV.

          Date      Amount  Close   High    Low   Volume
0     20040817  90923240.0  11.20  12.21  11.03  7877900
1     20040818  52955668.0  10.29  10.90  10.29  5043200
2     20040819  32614676.0  10.53  10.65  10.30  3116800
...        ...         ...    ...    ...    ...      ...
2810  20160815  56416636.0  39.58  39.79  38.38  1436706
2811  20160816  68030472.0  39.66  40.86  39.00  1703600
2812  20160817  62536480.0  40.45  40.59  39.12  1567600

After conversion to StockDataFrame

              amount  close   high    low   volume
date
20040817  90923240.0  11.20  12.21  11.03  7877900
20040818  52955668.0  10.29  10.90  10.29  5043200
20040819  32614676.0  10.53  10.65  10.30  3116800

20160816  68030472.0  39.66  40.86  39.00  1703600
20160817  62536480.0  40.45  40.59  39.12  1567600 

Use unwrap to convert it back to a pandas.DataFrame. Note that unwrap won't reset the columns and the index.

Access the Data

StockDataFrame is a subclass of pandas.DataFrame. All the functions of pandas.DataFrame should work the same as before.

Retrieve the data with symbol

We allow the user to access the statistics directly with some specified column name, such as kdjk, macd, rsi.

The values of these columns are calculated the first time you access them from the data frame. Please delete those columns first if you want the lib to re-evaluate them.

Retrieve the Series

Use macd = stock['macd'] or rsi = stock.get('rsi') to retrieve the Series.

Retrieve the symbol with 2 arguments

Some statistics need the column name and the window size, such as delta, shift, simple moving average, etc. Use this patter to retrieve them: <columnName>_<windowSize>_<statistics>

Examples:

• 5 periods simple moving average of the high price: high_5_sma
• 10 periods exponential moving average of the close: close_10_ema
• 1 period delta of the high price: high_-1_d. The minus symbol means looking backward.

Retrieve the symbol with 1 argument

Some statistics require the window size but not the column name. Use this patter to specify your window: <statistics>_<windowSize>

Examples:

• 6 periods RSI: rsi_6
• 10 periods CCI: cci_10
• 13 periods ATR: atr_13

Some of them have default windows. Check their document for detail.

Initialize all indicators with shortcuts

Some indicators, such as KDJ, BOLL, MFI, have shortcuts. Use df.init_all() to initialize all these indicators.

This operation generates lots of columns. Please use it with caution.

Statistics/Indicators

Some statistics have configurable parameters. They are class-level fields. Change of these fields is global. And they won't affect the existing results. Removing existing columns so that they will be re-evaluated the next time you access them.

Delta of Periods

Using pattern <column>_<window>_d to retrieve the delta between different periods.

You can also use <column>_delta as a shortcut to <column>_-1_d

Examples:

• df['close_-1_d'] retrieves the close price delta between current and prev. period.
• df['close_delta'] is the same as df['close_-1_d']
• df['high_2_d'] retrieves the high price delta between current and 2 days later

Shift Periods

Shift the column backward or forward. It takes 2 parameters:

• the name of the column to shift
• periods to shift, can be negative

We fill the head and tail with the nearest data.

See the example below:

In [15]: df[['close', 'close_-1_s', 'close_2_s']]
Out[15]:
          close  close_-1_s  close_2_s
date
20040817  11.20       11.20      10.53
20040818  10.29       11.20      10.55
20040819  10.53       10.29      10.10
20040820  10.55       10.53      10.25
...         ...         ...        ...
20160812  39.10       38.70      39.66
20160815  39.58       39.10      40.45
20160816  39.66       39.58      40.45
20160817  40.45       39.66      40.45

[2813 rows x 3 columns]

RSI - Relative Strength Index

RSI has a configurable window. The default window size is 14 which is configurable through set_dft_window('rsi', n). e.g.

• df['rsi']: 14 periods RSI
• df['rsi_6']: 6 periods RSI

Log Return of the Close

Logarithmic return = ln( close / last close)

From wiki:

For example, if a stock is priced at 3.570 USD per share at the close on one day, and at 3.575 USD per share at the close the next day, then the logarithmic return is: ln(3.575/3.570) = 0.0014, or 0.14%.

Use df['log-ret'] to access this column.

Count of Non-Zero Value

Count non-zero values of a specific range. It requires a column and a window.

Examples:

• Count how many typical prices are larger than close in the past 10 periods

In [22]: tp = df['middle']

[2813 rows x 4 columns]                                              

Max and Min of the Periods

Retrieve the max/min value of specified periods. They require column and window.
Note the window does NOT simply stand for the rolling window.

Examples:

• close_-3,2_max stands for the max of 2 periods later and 3 periods ago
• close_-2~0_min stands for the min of 2 periods ago till now

RSV - Raw Stochastic Value

RSV is essential for calculating KDJ. It takes a window parameter. Use df['rsv'] or df['rsv_6'] to access it.

RSI - Relative Strength Index

RSI chart the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock. It takes a window parameter.

The default window is 14. Use set_dft_window('rsi', n) to tune it.

Examples:

• df['rsi']: retrieve the RSI of 14 periods
• df['rsi_6']: retrieve the RSI of 6 periods

Stochastic RSI

Stochastic RSI gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. It takes a window parameter.

The default window is 14. Use set_dft_window('stochrsi', n) to tune it.

Examples:

• df['stochrsi']: retrieve the Stochastic RSI of 14 periods
• df['stochrsi_6']: retrieve the Stochastic RSI of 6 periods

WT - Wave Trend

Retrieve the LazyBear's Wave Trend with df['wt1'] and df['wt2'].

Wave trend uses two parameters. You can tune them with set_dft_window('wt', (10, 21)).

SMMA - Smoothed Moving Average

It requires column and window.

For example, use df['close_7_smma'] to retrieve the 7 periods smoothed moving average of the close price.

ROC - Rate of Change

The Price Rate of Change (ROC) is a momentum-based technical indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a certain number of periods ago.

Formular:

ROC = (PriceP - PricePn) / PricePn * 100

Where:

• PriceP: the price of the current period
• PricePn: the price of the n periods ago

You need a column name and a period to calculate ROC.

Examples:

• df['close_10_roc']: the ROC of the close price in 10 periods
• df['high_5_roc']: the ROC of the high price in 5 periods

MAD - Mean Absolute Deviation

The mean absolute deviation of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It gives us an idea about the variability in a dataset.

Formular:

1. Calculate the mean.
2. Calculate how far away each data point is from the mean using positive distances. These are called absolute deviations.
3. Add those deviations together.
4. Divide the sum by the number of data points.

Example:

• df['close_10_mad']: the MAD of the close price in 10 periods

TRIX - Triple Exponential Average

The triple exponential average is used to identify oversold and overbought markets.

The algorithm is:

TRIX = (TripleEMA - LastTripleEMA) -  * 100 / LastTripleEMA
TripleEMA = EMA of EMA of EMA
LastTripleEMA =  TripleEMA of the last period

It requires column and window. By default, the column is close, the window is 12.

Use set_dft_window('trix', n) to change the default window.

Examples:

• df['trix'] stands for 12 periods Trix for the close price.
• df['middle_10_trix'] stands for the 10 periods Trix for the typical price.

TEMA - Another Triple Exponential Average

Tema is another implementation for the triple exponential moving average.

TEMA=(3 x EMA) - (3 x EMA of EMA) + (EMA of EMA of EMA)

It takes two parameters, column and window. By default, the column is close, the window is 5.

Use set_dft_window('tema', n) to change the default window.

Examples:

• df['tema'] stands for 12 periods TEMA for the close price.
• df['middle_10_tema'] stands for the 10 periods TEMA for the typical price.

VR - Volume Variation Index

It is the strength index of the trading volume.

It has a default window of 26. Change it with set_dft_window('vr', n).

Examples:

• df['vr'] retrieves the 26 periods VR.
• df['vr_6'] retrieves the 6 periods VR.

WR - Williams Overbought/Oversold Index

Williams Overbought/Oversold index is a type of momentum indicator that moves between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels.

It takes a window parameter. The default window is 14. Use set_dft_window('wr', n) to change the default window.

Examples:

• df['wr'] retrieves the 14 periods WR.
• df['wr_6'] retrieves the 6 periods WR.

CCI - Commodity Channel Index

CCI stands for Commodity Channel Index.

It requires a window parameter. The default window is 14. Use set_dft_window('cci', n) to change it.

Examples:

• df['cci'] retrieves the default 14 periods CCI.
• df['cci_6'] retrieves the 6 periods CCI.

TR - True Range of Trading

TR is a measure of the volatility of a High-Low-Close series. It is used for calculating the ATR.

ATR - Average True Range

The Average True Range is an N-period smoothed moving average (SMMA) of the true range value.
Default to 14 periods.

Users can modify the default window with set_dft_window('atr', n).

Example:

• df['atr'] retrieves the 14 periods ATR.
• df['atr_5'] retrieves the 5 periods ATR.

Supertrend

Supertrend indicates the current trend.
We use the algorithm described here. It includes 3 lines:

• df['supertrend'] is the trend line.
• df['supertrend_ub'] is the upper band of the trend
• df['supertrend_lb'] is the lower band of the trend

It has 2 parameters:

• StockDataFrame.SUPERTREND_MUL is the multiplier of the band, default to 3.
• the default window size is 14. Change it with set_dft_window('supertrend', n)

DMA - Difference of Moving Average

df['dma'] retrieves the difference of 10 periods SMA of the close price and the 50 periods SMA of the close price.

DMI - Directional Movement Index

The directional movement index (DMI) identifies in which direction the price of an asset is moving.

It has several lines:

• df['pdi'] is the positive directional movement line (+DI)

It includes three lines:

• df['kdjk'] - K series
• df['kdjd'] - D series
• df['kdjj'] - J series

The default window is 9. Use set_dft_window('kdjk', n) to change it. Use df['kdjk_6'] to retrieve the K series of 6 periods.

KDJ also has two configurable parameters named StockDataFrame.KDJ_PARAM. The default value is (2.0/3.0, 1.0/3.0)

CR - Energy Index

The Energy Index (Intermediate Willingness Index) uses the relationship between the highest price, the lowest price and yesterday's middle price to reflect the market's willingness to buy and sell.

It contains 4 lines:

• df['cr'] - the CR line
• df['cr-ma1'] - StockDataFrame.CR_MA[0] periods of the CR moving average, the default window is 5
• df['cr-ma2'] - StockDataFrame.CR_MA[1] periods of the CR moving average, the default window is 10
• df['cr-ma3'] - StockDataFrame.CR_MA[2] periods of the CR moving average, the default window is 20

Typical Price

It's the average of high, low and close. Use df['middle'] to access this value.

When amount is available, middle = amount / volume This should be more accurate because amount represents the total cash flow.

Bollinger Bands

The Bollinger bands includes three lines

• df['boll'] is the baseline
• df['boll_ub'] is the upper band
• df['boll_lb'] is the lower band

The default window of boll is 20. You can also supply your window with df['boll_10']. It will also generate the boll_ub_10 and boll_lb_10 column.
