Pandas TA

Pandas TA - A Technical Analysis Library in Python 3

license Python Version PyPi Version Package Status Downloads Stars Forks Used By Contributors Issues Closed Issues Buy Me a Coffee

Example Chart

Pandas Technical Analysis (Pandas TA) is an easy to use library that leverages the Pandas package with more than 130 Indicators and Utility functions and more than 60 TA Lib Candlestick Patterns. Many commonly used indicators are included, such as: Candle Pattern(cdl_pattern), Simple Moving Average (sma) Moving Average Convergence Divergence (macd), Hull Exponential Moving Average (hma), Bollinger Bands (bbands), On-Balance Volume (obv), Aroon & Aroon Oscillator (aroon), Squeeze (squeeze) and many more.

Note: TA Lib must be installed to use all the Candlestick Patterns. pip install TA-Lib. If TA Lib is not installed, then only the builtin Candlestick Patterns will be available.

Features


Under Development

Pandas TA checks if the user has some common trading packages installed including but not limited to: TA Lib, Vector BT, YFinance ... Much of which is experimental and likely to break until it stabilizes more.


Installation

Stable

The pip version is the last stable release. Version: 0.3.14b

$ pip install pandas_ta

Latest Version

Best choice! Version: 0.3.14b

Cutting Edge

This is the Development Version which could have bugs and other undesireable side effects. Use at own risk!

$ pip install -U git+https://github.com/twopirllc/pandas-ta.git@development


Quick Start

import pandas as pd
import pandas_ta as ta

df = pd.DataFrame() # Empty DataFrame

# Load data
df = pd.read_csv("path/to/symbol.csv", sep=",")
# OR if you have yfinance installed
df = df.ta.ticker("aapl")

# VWAP requires the DataFrame index to be a DatetimeIndex.
# Replace "datetime" with the appropriate column from your DataFrame
df.set_index(pd.DatetimeIndex(df["datetime"]), inplace=True)

# Calculate Returns and append to the df DataFrame
df.ta.log_return(cumulative=True, append=True)
df.ta.percent_return(cumulative=True, append=True)

# New Columns with results
df.columns

# Take a peek
df.tail()

# vv Continue Post Processing vv


Help

Some indicator arguments have been reordered for consistency. Use help(ta.indicator_name) for more information or make a Pull Request to improve documentation.

import pandas as pd

Issues and Contributions

Thanks for using Pandas TA!


Contributors

Thank you for your contributions!


Programming Conventions

Pandas TA has three primary "styles" of processing Technical Indicators for your use case and/or requirements. They are: Standard, DataFrame Extension, and the Pandas TA Strategy. Each with increasing levels of abstraction for ease of use. As you become more familiar with Pandas TA, the simplicity and speed of using a Pandas TA Strategy may become more apparent. Furthermore, you can create your own indicators through Chaining or Composition. Lastly, each indicator either returns a Series or a DataFrame in Uppercase Underscore format regardless of style.


Standard

You explicitly define the input columns and take care of the output.


Pandas TA DataFrame Extension

Calling df.ta will automatically lowercase OHLCVA to ohlcva: open, high, low, close, volume, _adjclose. By default, df.ta will use the ohlcva for the indicator arguments removing the need to specify input columns directly.

Same as the last three examples, but appending the results directly to the DataFrame df.


Pandas TA Strategy

A Pandas TA Strategy is a named group of indicators to be run by the strategy method. All Strategies use mulitprocessing except when using the col_names parameter (see below). There are different types of Strategies listed in the following section.


Here are the previous Styles implemented using a Strategy Class:

# (1) Create the Strategy
MyStrategy = ta.Strategy(
    name="DCSMA10",
    ta=[
        {"kind": "ohlc4"},
        {"kind": "sma", "length": 10},
        {"kind": "donchian", "lower_length": 10, "upper_length": 15},
        {"kind": "ema", "close": "OHLC4", "length": 10, "suffix": "OHLC4"},
    ]
)

# (2) Run the Strategy
df.ta.strategy(MyStrategy, **kwargs)



Pandas TA Strategies

The Strategy Class is a simple way to name and group your favorite TA Indicators by using a Data Class. Pandas TA comes with two prebuilt basic Strategies to help you get started: AllStrategy and CommonStrategy. A Strategy can be as simple as the CommonStrategy or as complex as needed using Composition/Chaining.

See the Pandas TA Strategy Examples Notebook for examples including Indicator Composition/Chaining.

Strategy Requirements

Optional Parameters


Types of Strategies

Builtin

# Running the Builtin CommonStrategy as mentioned above
df.ta.strategy(ta.CommonStrategy)

# The Default Strategy is the ta.AllStrategy. The following are equivalent:
df.ta.strategy()
df.ta.strategy("All")
df.ta.strategy(ta.AllStrategy)

Categorical

# List of indicator categories
df.ta.categories

# Running a Categorical Strategy only requires the Category name
df.ta.strategy("Momentum") # Default values for all Momentum indicators
df.ta.strategy("overlap", length=42) # Override all Overlap 'length' attributes

Custom

# Create your own Custom Strategy
CustomStrategy = ta.Strategy(
    name="Momo and Volatility",
    description="SMA 50,200, BBANDS, RSI, MACD and Volume SMA 20",
    ta=[
        {"kind": "sma", "length": 50},
        {"kind": "sma", "length": 200},
        {"kind": "bbands", "length": 20},
        {"kind": "rsi"},
        {"kind": "macd", "fast": 8, "slow": 21},
        {"kind": "sma", "close": "volume", "length": 20, "prefix": "VOLUME"},
    ]
)
# To run your "Custom Strategy"
df.ta.strategy(CustomStrategy)


Multiprocessing

The Pandas TA strategy method utilizes multiprocessing for bulk indicator processing of all Strategy types with ONE EXCEPTION! When using the col_names parameter to rename resultant column(s), the indicators in ta array will be ran in order.

# VWAP requires the DataFrame index to be a DatetimeIndex.
# * Replace "datetime" with the appropriate column from your DataFrame
df.set_index(pd.DatetimeIndex(df["datetime"]), inplace=True)

# Runs and appends all indicators to the current DataFrame by default
# The resultant DataFrame will be large.
df.ta.strategy()
# Or the string "all"
df.ta.strategy("all")
# Or the ta.AllStrategy
df.ta.strategy(ta.AllStrategy)

# Use verbose if you want to make sure it is running.
df.ta.strategy(verbose=True)

# Use timed if you want to see how long it takes to run.
df.ta.strategy(timed=True)

# Choose the number of cores to use. Default is all available cores.
# For no multiprocessing, set this value to 0.
df.ta.cores = 4

# Maybe you do not want certain indicators.
# Just exclude (a list of) them.
df.ta.strategy(exclude=["bop", "mom", "percent_return", "wcp", "pvi"], verbose=True)

# Perhaps you want to use different values for indicators.
# This will run ALL indicators that have fast or slow as parameters.
# Check your results and exclude as necessary.
df.ta.strategy(fast=10, slow=50, verbose=True)

# Sanity check. Make sure all the columns are there
df.columns


Custom Strategy without Multiprocessing

Remember These will not be utilizing multiprocessing

NonMPStrategy = ta.Strategy(
    name="EMAs, BBs, and MACD",
    description="Non Multiprocessing Strategy by rename Columns",
    ta=[
        {"kind": "ema", "length": 8},
        {"kind": "ema", "length": 21},
        {"kind": "bbands", "length": 20, "col_names": ("BBL", "BBM", "BBU")},
        {"kind": "macd", "fast": 8, "slow": 21, "col_names": ("MACD", "MACD_H", "MACD_S")}
    ]
)
# Run it
df.ta.strategy(NonMPStrategy)

# **Performance Metrics** &nbsp; _BETA_
_Performance Metrics_ are a **new** addition to the package and consequentially are likely unreliable. **Use at your own risk.** These metrics return a _float_ and are _not_ part of the _DataFrame_ Extension. They are called the Standard way. For Example:

```python
import pandas_ta as ta
result = ta.cagr(df.close)

Available Metrics


Backtesting with vectorbt

For easier integration with vectorbt's Portfolio from_signals method, the ta.trend_return method has been replaced with ta.tsignals method to simplify the generation of trading signals. For a comprehensive example, see the example Jupyter Notebook VectorBT Backtest with Pandas TA in the examples directory.


Brief example

df = pd.DataFrame().ta.ticker("AAPL") # requires 'yfinance' installed

Create the "Golden Cross"

df["GC"] = df.ta.sma(50, append=True) > df.ta.sma(200, append=True)

Create boolean Signals(TS_Entries, TS_Exits) for vectorbt

golden = df.ta.tsignals(df.GC, asbool=True, append=True)

Sanity Check (Ensure data exists)

print(df)

Create the Signals Portfolio

pf = vbt.Portfolio.from_signals(df.close, entries=golden.TS_Entries, exits=golden.TS_Exits, freq="D", init_cash=100_000, fees=0.0025, slippage=0.0025)

Print Portfolio Stats and Return Stats

print(pf.stats()) print(pf.returns_stats())



<br/><br/>

# **Changes**
## **General**
* A __Strategy__ Class to help name and group your favorite indicators.
* If a **TA Lib** is already installed, Pandas TA will run TA Lib's version. (**BETA**)
* Some indicators have had their ```mamode``` _kwarg_ updated with more _moving average_ choices with the **Moving Average Utility** function ```ta.ma()```. For simplicity, all _choices_ are single source _moving averages_. This is primarily an internal utility used by indicators that have a ```mamode``` _kwarg_. This includes indicators: _accbands_, _amat_, _aobv_, _atr_, _bbands_, _bias_, _efi_, _hilo_, _kc_, _natr_, _qqe_, _rvi_, and _thermo_; the default ```mamode``` parameters have not changed. However, ```ta.ma()``` can be used by the user as well if needed. For more information: ```help(ta.ma)```
    * **Moving Average Choices**: dema, ema, fwma, hma, linreg, midpoint, pwma, rma, sinwma, sma, swma, t3, tema, trima, vidya, wma, zlma.
* An _experimental_ and independent __Watchlist__ Class located in the [Examples](https://github.com/twopirllc/pandas-ta/tree/main/examples/watchlist.py) Directory that can be used in conjunction with the new __Strategy__ Class.
* _Linear Regression_ (**linear_regression**) is a new utility method for Simple Linear Regression using _Numpy_ or _Scikit Learn_'s implementation.
* Added utility/convience function, ```to_utc```, to convert the DataFrame index to UTC. See: ```help(ta.to_utc)``` **Now** as a Pandas TA DataFrame Property to easily convert the DataFrame index to UTC.

<br />

## **Breaking / Depreciated Indicators**
* _Trend Return_ (**trend_return**) has been removed and replaced with **tsignals**. When given a trend Series like ```close > sma(close, 50)``` it returns the Trend, Trade Entries and Trade Exits of that trend to make it compatible with [**vectorbt**](https://github.com/polakowo/vectorbt) by setting ```asbool=True``` to get boolean Trade Entries and Exits. See ```help(ta.tsignals)```

<br/>

## **New Indicators**
* _Arnaud Legoux Moving Average_ (**alma**) uses the curve of the Normal (Gauss) distribution to allow regulating the smoothness and high sensitivity of the indicator. See: ```help(ta.alma)```
trading account, or fund. See ```help(ta.drawdown)```
* _Candle Patterns_ (**cdl_pattern**) If TA Lib is installed, then all those Candle Patterns are available. See the list and examples above on how to call the patterns. See ```help(ta.cdl_pattern)```
* _Candle Z Score_ (**cdl_z**) normalizes OHLC Candles with a rolling Z Score. See ```help(ta.cdl_z)```
* _Correlation Trend Indicator_ (**cti**) is an oscillator created by John Ehler in 2020. See ```help(ta.cti)```
* _Cross Signals_ (**xsignals**) was created by Kevin Johnson. It is a wrapper of Trade Signals that returns Trends, Trades, Entries and Exits. Cross Signals are commonly used for **bbands**, **rsi**, **zscore** crossing some value either above or below two values at different times. See ```help(ta.xsignals)```
* _Directional Movement_ (**dm**) developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 attempts to determine which direction the price of an asset is moving. See ```help(ta.dm)```
* _Even Better Sinewave_ (**ebsw**) measures market cycles and uses a low pass filter to remove noise. See: ```help(ta.ebsw)```
* _Jurik Moving Average_ (**jma**) attempts to eliminate noise to see the "true" underlying activity.. See: ```help(ta.jma)```
* _Klinger Volume Oscillator_ (**kvo**) was developed by Stephen J. Klinger. It is designed to predict price reversals in a market by comparing volume to price.. See ```help(ta.kvo)```
* _Schaff Trend Cycle_ (**stc**) is an evolution of the popular MACD incorportating two cascaded stochastic calculations with additional smoothing. See ```help(ta.stc)```
* _Squeeze Pro_ (**squeeze_pro**) is an extended version of "TTM Squeeze" from John Carter. See ```help(ta.squeeze_pro)```
* _Tom DeMark's Sequential_ (**td_seq**) attempts to identify a price point where an uptrend or a downtrend exhausts itself and reverses. Currently exlcuded from ```df.ta.strategy()``` for performance reasons. See ```help(ta.td_seq)```
* _Think or Swim Standard Deviation All_ (**tos_stdevall**) indicator which
returns the standard deviation of data for the entire plot or for the interval
of the last bars defined by the length parameter. See ```help(ta.tos_stdevall)```
* _Vertical Horizontal Filter_ (**vhf**) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets.. See ```help(ta.vhf)```

<br/>

## **Updated Indicators**

* _Acceleration Bands_ (**accbands**) Argument ```mamode``` renamed to ```mode```. See ```help(ta.accbands)```.
* _ADX_ (**adx**): Added ```mamode``` with default "**RMA**" and with the same ```mamode``` options as TradingView. New argument ```lensig``` so it behaves like TradingView's builtin ADX indicator. See ```help(ta.adx)```.
* _Archer Moving Averages Trends_ (**amat**): Added ```drift``` argument and more descriptive column names.
* _Average True Range_ (**atr**): The default ```mamode``` is now "**RMA**" and with the same ```mamode``` options as TradingView. See ```help(ta.atr)```.
