TechnicalIndicators

A javascript technical indicators written in typescript.

Installation

Node.js versions >= 10

bash
npm install --save technicalindicators

javascript
const SMA = require('technicalindicators').SMA;

Node.js versions < 10

For nodejs version below 10 use 1.x versions of this library.

Webpack

Make sure you have the following in your config file.

javascript
module.exports = {
  resolve: {
    mainFields: ["module", "main"]
  }
}

Browser

For browsers install using npm,

For ES6 browsers use

bash
npm install --save technicalindicators

html
<script src="node_modules/technicalindicators/dist/browser.es6.js"></script>

For ES5 support it is necessary to include the babel-polyfill and respective file browser.js otherwise you will get an error. For example see index.html

bash
npm install --save technicalindicators
npm install --save babel-polyfill

html
<script src="node_modules/babel-polyfill/browser.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/technicalindicators/dist/browser.js"></script>

Pattern detection

Pattern detection is removed from version 3.0, if you need pattern detection use v2.0

All indicators will be available in window object. So you can just use

javascript
sma({period : 5, values : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], reversedInput : true});

javascript
SMA.calculate({period : 5, values : [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]});

CandleStick Pattern

Search for all bullish or bearish using

javascript
var twoDayBullishInput = {
  open: [23.25,15.36],
  high: [25.10,30.87],
  close: [21.44,27.89],
  low: [20.82,14.93],
}

var bullish = require('technicalindicators').bullish;

bullish(twoDayBullishInput) //true

API

There are three ways you can use to get the indicator results.

calculate

Every indicator has a static method calculate which can be used to calculate the indicator without creating an object.

javascript
const sma = require('technicalindicators').sma;
var prices = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,15];
var period = 10;
sma({period : period, values : prices})

javascript
const SMA = require('technicalindicators').SMA;
var prices = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,15];
var period = 10;
SMA.calculate({period : period, values : prices})

nextValue

nextValue method is used to get the next indicator value.

javascript
var sma = new SMA({period : period, values : []});
var results = [];
prices.forEach(price => {
  var result = sma.nextValue(price);
  if(result)
    results.push(result)
});

getResult

This a merge of calculate and nextValue. The usual use case would be

Initialize indicator with available price value
Get results for initialized values

Use nextValue to get next indicator values for further tick.

javascript
var sma = new SMA({period : period, values : prices});
sma.getResult(); // [5.5, 6.6, 7.7, 8.9]
sma.nextValue(16); // 10.1

Note: Calling nextValue will not update getResult() value.

Precision

This uses regular javascript numbers, so there can be rounding errors which are negligible for a technical indicators, you can set precision by using the below config. By default there is no precision set.

javascript
const technicalIndicators = require('technicalindicators');
technicalIndicators.setConfig('precision', 10);

Contribute

Create issues about anything you want to report, change of API's, or request for adding new indicators. You can also create pull request with new indicators.

Environment dependencies

Typescript: Use typescript 2.0.0 other you might get max call stack reached error.

npm install -g typescript@2.0.0

TechnicalIndicators depends on the canvas package, which requires some dependencies to be installed. You can find the instructions to do that here. If you do not install these dependencies, expect to get this error message during the installation of TechnicalIndicators:

> canvas@1.6.6 install /Users/balupton/Projects/trading/technicalindicators/node_modules/canvas
> node-gyp rebuild

./util/has_lib.sh: line 31: pkg-config: command not found
gyp: Call to './util/has_lib.sh freetype' returned exit status 0 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp

Setup

bash
git clone git@github.com:anandanand84/technicalindicators.git  # or use your fork
cd technicalindicators
npm run start

Running tests and getting coverage

bash
npm test
npm run cover

Adding new indicators

Add tests for the indicator and make them pass.
(It would be better if a sample of the stockcharts excel is used for the test case.)
Add the indicator to the index.js and src/index.ts
Run build scripts: npm run build-lib && npm run generateDts && npm run start
Add it to README.md, with the link to the runkit url containing the sample.
Add indicator it to keywords in package.json and bower.json
Send a Pull Request.
