Technical Analysis with Python

Project description

Technical Analysis for Python

Technical Analysis (TA) is the study of price movements.

This package aims to provide various TA tools, such as candlestick pattern recognition, technical overlays, technical indicators, and statistical analysis.

Why Use This Library?

The Technical Analysis Library is still in its early days, but already has the following:

  1. Recognition for 30+ Candlestick Patterns
  2. Customizable Candlestick Pattern Functions
  3. 10+ customizable technical indicators
  4. 10+ moving average types (including adaptive)
  5. Technical overlays
  6. Parameterizable Technical signals

Coming Soon:

The next version will provide:

  • tools for backtesting
  • more indicators, signals, candlestick patterns

Technical Overlays Example Usage

>>> import pandas as pd

>>> from technical_analysis import candles
>>> from technical_analysis import overlays
>>> from technical_analysis import indicators

>>> spy = pd.read_csv(filepath)

# exponentially-weighted moving average
>>> spy["ema9"] = overlays.ema(spy.close, 9)
>>> spy["ema20"] = overlays.ema(spy.close, 20)
>>> spy["ema50"] = overlays.ema(spy.close, 50)

# triangular moving average
>>> spy["tma9"] = overlays.tma(spy.close, 9)
>>> spy["tma20"] = overlays.tma(spy.close, 20)
>>> spy["tma50"] = overlays.tma(spy.close, 50)

# linearly-weighted moving average
>>> spy["lwma9"] = overlays.lwma(spy.close, 9)
>>> spy["lwma20"] = overlays.lwma(spy.close, 20)
>>> spy["lwma50"] = overlays.lwma(spy.close, 50)

# kaufman adaptive moving average
>>> spy["kama9"] = overlays.kama(spy.close, 9, min_smoothing_constant=3, max_smoothing_constant=30)
>>> spy["kama20"] = overlays.kama(spy.close, 20, min_smoothing_constant=3, max_smoothing_constant=30)
>>> spy["kama50"] = overlays.kama(spy.close, 50, min_smoothing_constant=3, max_smoothing_constant=30)

# bollinger bands
>>> spy["bband_lower"], spy["bband_upper"] = overlays.bbands(spy.close, period=20)
# donchian bands
>>> spy["dband_lower"], spy["dband_upper"] = overlays.dbands(spy.close, period=20)
# keltner bands
>>> spy["kband_lower"], spy["kband_upper"] = overlays.kbands(spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, period=20)

Easily Get Moving Average Crossover Signals

  • Return the indexes at which a crossover occurs
>>> overlays.bullish_crossover_signal(spy["ema20"], spy["ema50"])
array([ 168,  213,  275,  454,  573,  755,  917, 1039, 1185, 1429, 1654,
       1762, 1790, 1996, 2072, 2098, 2246, 2356, 2649, 2832, 3009, 3076,
       3169, 3346, 3719, 3901, 3990, 4051, 4220, 4584, 4697])

>>> overlays.bearish_crossover_signal(spy["ema20"], spy["ema50"])
array([  87,  118,  165,  341,  476,  632,  830,  932, 1003, 1150, 1565,
       1636, 1701, 1902, 1941, 2023, 2139, 2261, 2572, 2743, 2926, 2960,
       3055, 3252, 3612, 3754, 3910, 3963, 4098, 4501, 4577, 4640])

Technical Indicators Example Usage

# average true range
>>> spy["atr"] = indicators.atr(spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, period=14)

# relative strength index
>>> spy["rsi"] = indicators.rsi(spy.close, period=14)

# Williams' %R
>>> spy["perc_r"] = indicators.perc_r(spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, period=14)

# true strength index
>>> spy["tsi"] = indicators.tsi(spy.close, period1=25, period2=13)

# TRIX
>>> spy["trix"] = indicators.trix(spy.close, period=15)

# stochastic %k, %d (fast, slow, or full)
spy["stoch_k"], spy["stoch_d"] = indicators.stochastic(spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, period=14, perc_k_smoothing=3)

# macd histogram
>>> spy["macd_histogram"] = indicators.macd(spy.close, return_histogram=True)

Candlestick Pattern Recognition

>>> spy["gap_down"] = candles.is_gap_down(spy.high, spy.low, min_gap_size=0.003)
>>> spy["gap_up"] = candles.is_gap_down(spy.high, spy.low, min_gap_size=0.003)
>>> spy["long_body"] = candles.is_long_body(spy.open, spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, min_body_size=0.7)
>>> spy["doji"] = candles.is_doji(spy.open, spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, relative_threshold=0.1)
>>> spy["outside"] = candles.is_outside(spy.high, spy.low)
>>> spy["inside"] = candles.is_inside(spy.high, spy.low)
>>> spy["spinning_top"] = candles.spinning_top(spy.open, spy.high, spy.low, spy.close)
>>> spy["marubozu"] = candles.is_marubozu(spy.open, spy.high, spy.low, spy.close, max_shadow_size=0.2)
>>> spy["dark_cloud"] = candles.dark_cloud(spy.open,
                                           spy.high,
                                           spy.low,
                                           spy.close,
                                           min_body_size=0.65,
                                           new_high_periods=30)
>>> spy["bullish_engulfing"] = candles.bullish_engulfing(spy.open, spy.high, spy.low, spy.close)
>>> spy["bearish_engulfing"] = candles.bearish_engulfing(spy.open, spy.high, spy.low, spy.close)
