TA-Lib integration

The pyalgotrade.talibext.indicator module provides integration with Python wrapper for TA-Lib (http://mrjbq7.github.com/ta-lib/) to enable calling TA-Lib functions directly with pyalgotrade.dataseries.DataSeries or pyalgotrade.dataseries.BarDataSeries instances instead of numpy arrays.

If you’re familiar with the talib module, then using the pyalgotrade.talibext.indicator module should be straightforward. When using talib standalone you do something like this:

import numpy
import talib

data = numpy.random.random(100)
upper, middle, lower = talib.BBANDS(data, matype=talib.MA_T3)

To use the pyalgotrade.talibext.indicator module in your strategies you should do something like this:

def onBars(self, bars):
    closeDs = self.getFeed().getDataSeries("orcl").getCloseDataSeries()
    upper, middle, lower = pyalgotrade.talibext.indicator.BBANDS(closeDs, 100, matype=talib.MA_T3)
    if upper != None:
        print "%s" % upper[-1]

Every function in the pyalgotrade.talibext.indicator module receives one or more dataseries (most receive just one) and the number of values to use from the dataseries. In the example above, we’re calculating Bollinger Bands over the last 100 closing prices.

If the parameter name is ds, then you should pass a regular pyalgotrade.dataseries.DataSeries instance, like the one shown in the example above.

If the parameter name is barDs, then you should pass a pyalgotrade.dataseries.BarDataSeries instance, like in the next example:

def onBars(self, bars):
    barDs = self.getFeed().getDataSeries("orcl")
    sar = indicator.SAR(barDs, 100)
    if sar != None:
        print "%s" % sar[-1]
