Pandas TA - A Technical Analysis Library in Python 3

Pandas Technical Analysis (Pandas TA) is an easy to use library that leverages the Pandas library 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

Has 130+ indicators and utility functions.
- Also Pandas TA will run TA Lib's version. (BETA), this includes TA Lib's 63 Chart Patterns.
Indicators are tightly correlated with the de facto TA Lib if they share common indicators.
Example Jupyter Notebook with vectorbt Portfolio Backtesting with Pandas TA's ta.tsignals method.
Have the need for speed? By using the DataFrame strategy method, you get multiprocessing for free!
Easily add prefixes or suffixes or both to columns names. Useful for Custom Chained Strategies.
Example Jupyter Notebooks under the examples directory, including how to create Custom Strategies using the new Strategy Class
Potential Data Leaks: ichimoku and dpo. See indicator list below for details.

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.

If TA Lib installed, existing indicators will eventually get a TA Lib version.
Easy Downloading of ohlcv data using yfinance. See help(ta.ticker) and help(ta.yf) and examples below.
Hopefully soon a Pandas TA YAML configuration file contained in ~/pandas_ta/ can be implemented. To see the proposed specification and leave comments and suggestions on it's implementation, see Issue #258.

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.

sma10 = ta.sma(df["Close"], length=10)
- Returns a Series with name: SMA_10
donchiandf = ta.donchian(df["HIGH"], df["low"], lower_length=10, upper_length=15)
- Returns a DataFrame named DC_10_15 and column names: DCL_10_15, DCM_10_15, DCU_10_15
ema10_ohlc4 = ta.ema(ta.ohlc4(df["Open"], df["High"], df["Low"], df["Close"]), length=10)
- Chaining indicators is possible but you have to be explicit.
- Since it returns a Series named EMA_10. If needed, you may need to uniquely name it.

Pandas TA DataFrame Extension

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

sma10 = df.ta.sma(length=10)
- Returns a Series with name: SMA_10
ema10_ohlc4 = df.ta.ema(close=df.ta.ohlc4(), length=10, suffix="OHLC4")
- Returns a Series with name: EMA_10_OHLC4
- Chaining Indicators require specifying the input like: close=df.ta.ohlc4().
donchiandf = df.ta.donchian(lower_length=10, upper_length=15)
- Returns a DataFrame named DC_10_15 and column names: DCL_10_15, DCM_10_15, DCU_10_15

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

df.ta.sma(length=10, append=True)
- Appends to df column name: SMA_10.
df.ta.ema(close=df.ta.ohlc4(append=True), length=10, suffix="OHLC4", append=True)
- Chaining Indicators require specifying the input like: close=df.ta.ohlc4().
df.ta.donchian(lower_length=10, upper_length=15, append=True)
- Appends to df with column names: DCL_10_15, DCM_10_15, DCU_10_15.

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.

When using the strategy method, all indicators will be automatically appended to the DataFrame df.
You are using a Chained Strategy when you have the output of one indicator as input into one or more indicators in the same Strategy.
Note: Use the 'prefix' and/or 'suffix' keywords to distinguish the composed indicator from it's default Series.

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

Strategy Requirements

name: Some short memorable string. Note: Case-insensitive "All" is reserved.
ta: A list of dicts containing keyword arguments to identify the indicator and the indicator's arguments
Note: A Strategy will fail when consumed by Pandas TA if there is no {"kind": "indicator name"} attribute. Remember to check your spelling.

Optional Parameters

description: A more detailed description of what the Strategy tries to capture. Default: None
created: At datetime string of when it was created. Default: Automatically generated.

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)

DataFrame Properties

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

See the vectorbt website more options and examples.

import pandas as pd
import pandas_ta as ta
import vectorbt as vbt

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())

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 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.

Breaking 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 by setting asbool=True to get boolean Trade Entries and Exits. See: help(ta.tsignals)

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)
Even Better Sinewave (ebsw) measures market cycles and uses a low pass filter to remove noise. See: help(ta.ebsw)
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)
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)
Vertical Horizontal Filter (vhf) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets.. See: help(ta.vhf)

Updated Indicators

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).
