TA lib, full name "Technical Analysis Library", namely Technical Analysis Library, is an advanced library of Python financial quantification, covering more than 150 indicators, including technical analysis indicators commonly used in stock and futures trading software, such as MACD, RSI, KDJ, momentum indicators, brin belt, etc.

TA lib can be divided into 10 sub sections: Overlap Studies, momentum indicators, volume indicators, cycle indicators, price transform, volatility indicators, pattern recognition, statistical functions and math transform And math operators, as shown in the figure below. This paper will introduce the implementation and application of talib technical indicators in detail in the form of a series, and this paper, as the beginning, mainly introduces the content of Overlap Studies.

The following is the full name list of each indicator

2, TaLib installation

Note: TaLib is a python library, so you need to install Python before installing TaLib.

1. pip installation

(official installation tutorial document: mrjbq7. GitHub. IO / Ta LIB)

  • Enter the command at the command line (online installation):

pip install Ta-Lib

  • (Note: this problem may occur during pip installation:
    error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": visualstudio.microsoft.com
    ****TA lib * * is written based on python, so Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required during installation. * * manual installation is required at this time. This problem may also occur when installing other Python third-party packages, and the solution is the same)

2. Manual installation

A. Find and download the corresponding version of whl format file you need.
(for example, if the native installation is 32-bit Python 3.6, select TA_Lib ‑ 0.4.17 ‑ cp36 ‑ cp36m ‑ win32.whl to download;
If 64 bit python2.7 is installed locally, select TA_Lib ‑ 0.4.17 ‑ cp27 ‑ cp27m ‑ win_amd64.whl (the same for others)

The download address is:
lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pyt

B. On the command line (the opening method of the command line is in the Tips at the end of the article), enter the directory where the whl file is located and execute the command:

Name of whl file downloaded by pip install
For example: pip install TA_Lib-0.4.17-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

C. Or execute the command directly without entering the directory:

Absolute path + file name of pip install file
For example: pip install D:\my_packages\ TA_Lib-0.4.17-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

3. Successful installation

After the package is successfully installed, the command line interface will prompt "successfully installed TA lib".

You can also enter the command "PIP install TA lib" on the command line. If "requirement already qualified: TA Lib in..." ("..." is the directory where this file is installed), the installation is successful.
