Platform Support

Platform	Python	Architecture
Linux	3.10-3.13	x86_64
macOS	3.10-3.13	x86_64, arm64
Windows	3.10-3.13	AMD64

Quick Start

Basic Usage

import numpy as np
from techkit import SMA, RSI, MACD, BBANDS

# Sample price data
prices = np.random.randn(100).cumsum() + 100

# Create indicators
sma = SMA(period=20)
rsi = RSI(period=14)
macd = MACD(fast=12, slow=26, signal=9)

# Calculate (batch)
sma_values = sma.calculate(prices)
rsi_values = rsi.calculate(prices)
macd_result = macd.calculate(prices)

print(f"SMA: {sma_values[-1]:.2f}")
print(f"RSI: {rsi_values[-1]:.2f}")
print(f"MACD: {macd_result.macd[-1]:.4f}")

Streaming / Incremental Updates

from techkit import SMA, RSI

sma = SMA(20)
rsi = RSI(14)

# Process bar by bar (O(1) per update)
for price in live_price_stream():
    sma_result = sma.update(price)
    rsi_result = rsi.update(price)
    
    if sma_result.valid and rsi_result.valid:
        print(f"SMA: {sma_result.value:.2f}, RSI: {rsi_result.value:.2f}")

TA-Lib Drop-in Replacement

# Before (TA-Lib)
import talib
sma = talib.SMA(prices, timeperiod=20)
rsi = talib.RSI(prices, timeperiod=14)
macd, signal, hist = talib.MACD(prices)

# After (TechKit) - Same API!
from techkit import talib_compat as ta
sma = ta.SMA(prices, timeperiod=20)
rsi = ta.RSI(prices, timeperiod=14)
macd, signal, hist = ta.MACD(prices)

Candlestick Patterns

from techkit import CDL_HAMMER, CDL_ENGULFING, CDL_MORNINGSTAR

# Detect patterns
hammer = CDL_HAMMER()
signals = hammer.calculate(open, high, low, close)

# Signals: +100 (bullish), -100 (bearish), 0 (none)
bullish_hammers = np.where(signals > 0)[0]

Indicator Chaining

from techkit import Chain, RSI, EMA, SMA

# Smoothed RSI: RSI(14) → EMA(9)
smoothed_rsi = Chain([RSI(14), EMA(9)])
result = smoothed_rsi.calculate(prices)

# Double smoothed: SMA(10) → SMA(5)
double_smooth = Chain([SMA(10), SMA(5)])
result = double_smooth.calculate(prices)

Pandas Integration

import pandas as pd
from techkit import talib_compat as ta

df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')

# Directly use DataFrame columns
df['SMA_20'] = ta.SMA(df['close'], timeperiod=20)
df['RSI_14'] = ta.RSI(df['close'], timeperiod=14)
df['ATR_14'] = ta.ATR(df['high'], df['low'], df['close'], timeperiod=14)

macd, signal, hist = ta.MACD(df['close'])
df['MACD'] = macd
df['MACD_Signal'] = signal
df['MACD_Hist'] = hist

Performance

TechKit uses C++ with O(1) incremental computation:

Operation	TechKit	TA-Lib
Single update	O(1)	O(n)
Batch (1000 bars)	~0.1ms	~0.2ms
Memory per indicator	O(period)	O(n)

Benchmark Example

import time
import numpy as np
from techkit import SMA

prices = np.random.randn(1_000_000).cumsum() + 100

# Batch mode
start = time.time()
result = SMA(20).calculate(prices)
print(f"Batch (1M points): {time.time() - start:.3f}s")

# Streaming mode
sma = SMA(20)
start = time.time()
for price in prices[:100_000]:
    sma.update(price)
print(f"Streaming (100K points): {time.time() - start:.3f}s")
