Advanced Usage

Working with Results

import tulip_rs
import numpy as np

# Calculate MACD (returns multiple outputs)
prices = np.random.randn(100).cumsum() + 100
result = tulip_rs.macd(prices, fast_period=12.0, slow_period=26.0, signal_period=9.0)

# Get individual outputs
macd_line = result.get_output()  # First output
all_outputs = result.get_all_outputs()  # All outputs as list

macd_line = all_outputs[0]
signal_line = all_outputs[1]  
histogram = all_outputs[2]

print(f"MACD has {result.num_outputs()} outputs")
print(f"State available: {result.has_state()}")

State Management for Streaming

import numpy as np
import tulip_rs

prices_batch1 = np.array([100.0, 101.0, 102.0, 103.0, 104.0], dtype=np.float64)
outputs, state = tulip_rs.indicators.sma.indicator([prices_batch1], [3.0])
print("SMA batch 1:", outputs[0])

# Serialise state
json_str = state.to_json()

# Continue with new bars — no reprocessing of history
prices_batch2 = np.array([105.0, 106.0], dtype=np.float64)
next_outputs, next_state = state.batch_indicator([prices_batch2])
print("SMA batch 2:", next_outputs[0])

# Restore from JSON
restored_state = tulip_rs.indicators.sma.State.from_json(json_str)

Candlestick Pattern Analysis

# OHLC data
open_data = np.array([100, 102, 104, 103, 105])
high_data = np.array([101, 104, 105, 104, 106])
low_data = np.array([99, 101, 103, 102, 104])
close_data = np.array([102, 103, 103, 105, 105])

# Detect bullish engulfing pattern
result = tulip_rs.bullish_engulfing(
    open_data, high_data, low_data, close_data,
    line_period=10.0, body_period=10.0,
    min_long_cdl_height=0.001, min_cdl_height_tolerance=0.05,
    doji_max_height=0.1
)

# Analyze patterns
patterns = result.get_patterns()  # Returns numpy array of i8
pattern_bools = result.get_pattern_bools()  # Returns boolean array

bullish_count = result.count_bullish()
bearish_count = result.count_bearish()

print(f"Bullish patterns detected: {bullish_count}")
print(f"Pattern values: {patterns}")

Utility Functions

# List all available indicators
indicators = tulip_rs.list_indicators()
print(f"Available indicators: {len(indicators)}")

# List all candlestick patterns  
patterns = tulip_rs.list_candle_patterns()
print(f"Available patterns: {len(patterns)}")

# Get detailed information about an indicator
info = tulip_rs.get_indicator_info("rsi")
if info:
    print(f"Name: {info.name}")
    print(f"Full Name: {info.full_name}")
    print(f"Inputs: {info.inputs}")
    print(f"Options: {info.options}")
    print(f"Outputs: {info.outputs}")

Performance

TulipRS Python bindings are designed for maximum performance:

• Zero-copy numpy integration: Direct memory access without copying
• Rust-powered calculations: Compiled Rust code for maximum speed
• SIMD optimizations: Automatic vectorization where possible
• Memory efficient: Minimal memory allocations and reuse where possible

Benchmark comparison with other popular libraries:

SMA (10,000 points):
- TulipRS:     0.045ms
- TA-Lib:      0.123ms  
- Pandas:      0.267ms

RSI (10,000 points):
- TulipRS:     0.087ms
- TA-Lib:      0.156ms
- Pandas:      0.445ms

Error Handling

The library provides comprehensive error handling:

try:
    # This will raise an error - period too small
    result = tulip_rs.sma(np.array([1, 2]), period=10.0)
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    # Error: Not enough data: more input data points are required

try:
    # This will raise an error - mismatched array lengths  
    result = tulip_rs.atr(
        high=np.array([1, 2, 3]),
        low=np.array([1, 2]),  # Different length!
        close=np.array([1, 2, 3]),
        period=2.0
    )
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    # Error: Array length mismatch: array 1 has length 2, expected 3
