Streaming Indicators

A python library for computing technical analysis indicators on streaming data.

Installation

pip install streaming-indicators 

Why another TA library?

There are many other technical analysis python packages, most notably ta-lib, then why another library?
All other libraries work on static data, you can not add values to any indicator. But in real-time trading system, price values (ticks/candles) keeps streaming, and indicators should update on real-time. This library is for that purpose.

Usage

Each indicator is a class, and is statefull. It will have 3 main functions:

  1. Constructor: initialise all parameters such as period.
  2. update: To add new data point in the indicator computation. Returns the new value of the indicator.
  3. compute: Compute indicator value with a new data point, but don't update it's state. This is useful in some cases, for example, compute indictor on ltp, but don't update it.

List of indicators (and usage)

  • Simple Moving Average (SMA)
import streaming_indicators as si period = 14 SMA = si.SMA(period) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): sma = SMA.update(candle['close']) print(sma) 
  • Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
period = 14 EMA = si.EMA(period) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): ema = EMA.update(candle['close']) print(ema) 
  • Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
  • Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA)
  • RMA (RMA)
    RMA is used in trading view in many indicators including RSI. Ref
  • Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
    Computes VWAP using hlc3 and volume, anchors at first candle.
VWAP = si.VWAP() for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): vwap = VWAP.update(candle) print(vwap) 
  • Relative Strength Index (RSI)
period = 14 RSI = si.RSI(period) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): rsi = RSI.update(candle['close']) print(rsi) 
  • Central Pivot Range (CPR)
  • True Range (TRANGE)
  • Average True Range (ATR)
atr_period = 20 ATR = si.ATR(atr_period) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): atr = ATR.update(candle) # Assumes candle to have 'open',high','low','close' - TODO: give multiple inputs to update. print(atr) 
  • Bollinger Bands (BBands)
  • SuperTrend (SuperTrend)
st_atr_length = 10 st_factor = 3 ST = si.SuperTrend(st_atr_length, st_factor) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): st = ST.update(candle) print(st) # (st_direction:1/-1, band_value) 

To use some historical candles to initiate, use: ST = si.SuperTrend(st_atr_length, st_factor, candles=initial_candles) where initial_candles is pandas dataframe with open,high,low,close columns, and requires talib package.

  • Heikin Ashi Candlesticks (HeikinAshi)
HA = si.HeikinAshi() for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): ha_candle = HA.update(candle) print(ha_candle) # {'close': float, 'open': float, 'high': float, 'low': float} 
  • Renko Bricks (Renko)
# For fixed brick size brick_size = 20 Renko = si.Renko() for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): bricks = Renko.update(candle['close'], brick_size) print(bricks) # [{'direction': 1/-1, 'brick_num': int, 'wick_size': float, 'brick_size': float, 'brick_end_price': float, 'price': float}, {}]: list of bricks formed after this candle 
# For brick size using ATR atr_period = 20 ATR = si.ATR(atr_period) Renko = si.Renko() for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): atr = ATR.update(candle) print(atr) bricks = Renko.update(candle['close'], atr) print(bricks) 
  • Order Checking (IsOrder)
    Checks if the running sequence is in a given order, eg increasing, decreasing, exponential, etc. Useful when checking if consecutive n candles/ltps were increasing.
period = 10 all_increasing = si.IsOrder('>', period) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): is_increasing = all_increasing.update(candle['close']) print(is_increasing) # True/False 
  • HalfTrend (HalfTrend)
    HalfTrend indicator by Alex Orekhov (everget) in tradingview. Refered it's pine script. trend = 0 for uptrend and 1 for downtrend.
HT = si.HalfTrend(amplitude=2, channel_deviation=2, atr_period=100) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): trend, half_trend, up, down, atr_high, atr_low = HT.update(candle) 
  • Directional Moving Index (PLUS_DI and MINUS_DI)
  • CWA 2-Sigma (CWA2Sigma)
    As discussed by Mr Rakesh Pujara in his interview.
CWA2Sigma = si.CWA2Sigma(bb_period=50, bb_width=2, ema_period=100, atr_period=14, atr_factor=1.8, sl_perc=20) for idx, candle in candles.iterrows(): cwa_signal,cwa_entry_price = CWA2Sigma.update(candle)
