Pandas TA (pandas_ta) Strategies for Custom Technical Analysis

Topics

  • What is a Pandas TA Strategy?
    • Builtin Strategies: AllStrategy and CommonStrategy
    • Creating Strategies
  • Watchlist Class
    • Strategy Management and Execution
    • NOTE: The watchlist module is independent of Pandas TA. To easily use it, copy it from your local pandas_ta installation directory into your project directory.
  • Indicator Composition/Chaining for more Complex Strategies
    • Comprehensive Example: MACD and RSI Momo with BBANDS and SMAs 50 & 200 and Cumulative Log Returns

What is a Pandas TA Strategy?

A Strategy is a simple way to name and group your favorite TA indicators. Technically, a Strategy is a simple Data Class to contain list of indicators and their parameters. Note: Strategy is experimental and subject to change. Pandas TA comes with two basic Strategies: AllStrategy and CommonStrategy.

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

Optional Requirements:

  • 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.

Things to note:

  • A Strategy will fail when consumed by Pandas TA if there is no {"kind": "indicator name"} attribute.

Builtin Examples

All

Default Values

In [2]:
AllStrategy = ta.AllStrategy
print("name =", AllStrategy.name)
print("description =", AllStrategy.description)
print("created =", AllStrategy.created)
print("ta =", AllStrategy.ta)
name = All
description = All the indicators with their default settings. Pandas TA default.
created = Saturday June 19, 2021, NYSE: 7:59:38, Local: 11:59:38 PDT, Day 170/365 (47.00%)
ta = None

Common

Default Values

In [3]:
CommonStrategy = ta.CommonStrategy
print("name =", CommonStrategy.name)

print("created =", CommonStrategy.created)
print("ta =", CommonStrategy.ta)

In [ ]:

Creating Strategies

Strategies require a name and an array of dicts containing the "kind" of indicator ("sma") and other potential parameters for ta.

Simple Strategy A

In [4]:
custom_a = ta.Strategy(name="A", ta=[{"kind": "sma", "length": 50}, {"kind": "sma", "length": 200}])
custom_a
Out [4]:
Strategy(name='A', ta=[{'kind': 'sma', 'length': 50}, {'kind': 'sma', 'length': 200}], description='TA Description', created='Saturday June 19, 2021, NYSE: 7:59:38, Local: 11:59:38 PDT, Day 170/365 (47.00%)')

Simple Strategy B

In [5]:
custom_b = ta.Strategy(name="B", ta=[{"kind": "ema", "length": 8}, {"kind": "ema", "length": 21}, {"kind": "log_return", "cumulative": True}, {"kind": "rsi"}, {"kind": "supertrend"}])
custom_b
Out [5]:
Strategy(name='B', ta=[{'kind': 'ema', 'length': 8}, {'kind': 'ema', 'length': 21}, {'kind': 'log_return', 'cumulative': True}, {'kind': 'rsi'}, {'kind': 'supertrend'}], description='TA Description', created='Saturday June 19, 2021, NYSE: 7:59:38, Local: 11:59:38 PDT, Day 170/365 (47.00%)')

Bad Strategy. (Misspelled Indicator)

In [6]:
# Misspelled indicator, will fail later when ran with Pandas TA
custom_run_failure = ta.Strategy(name="Runtime Failure", ta=[{"kind": "percet_return"}])
custom_run_failure
Out [6]:
Strategy(name='Runtime Failure', ta=[{'kind': 'percet_return'}], description='TA Description', created='Saturday June 19, 2021, NYSE: 7:59:38, Local: 11:59:38 PDT, Day 170/365 (47.00%)')
In [ ]:

Strategy Management and Execution with Watchlist

Initialize AlphaVantage Data Source

In [7]:
AV = AlphaVantage(
    api_key="YOUR API KEY", premium=False,
    output_size='full', clean=True,
    export_path=".", export=True
)
AV
Out [7]:
AlphaVantage(
  end_point:str = https://www.alphavantage.co/query,
  api_key:str = YOUR API KEY,
  export:bool = True,
  export_path:str = .,
  output_size:str = full,
  output:str = csv,
  datatype:str = json,
  clean:bool = True,
  proxy:dict = {}
)

Create Watchlist and set it's 'ds' to AlphaVantage

In [8]:
data_source = "av" # Default
# data_source = "yahoo"
watch = Watchlist(["SPY", "IWM"], ds_name=data_source, timed=False)

Info about the Watchlist. Note, the default Strategy is "All"

In [9]:
watch
Out [9]:
Watch(name='Watch: SPY, IWM', ds_name='av', tickers[2]='SPY, IWM', tf='D', strategy[5]='Common Price and Volume SMAs')

Help about Watchlist

In [10]:
help(Watchlist)
Help on class Watchlist in module watchlist:

class Watchlist(builtins.object)
 |  Watchlist(tickers: list, tf: str = None, name: str = None, strategy: pandas_ta.core.Strategy = None, ds_name: str = 'av', **kwargs)
 |  
 |  # Watchlist Class (** This is subject to change! **)
 |  A simple Class to load/download financial market data and automatically
 |  apply Technical Analysis indicators with a Pandas TA Strategy.
 |  
 |  Default Strategy: pandas_ta.CommonStrategy
 |  
 |  ## Package Support:
 |  ### Data Source (Default: AlphaVantage)
 |  - AlphaVantage (pip install alphaVantage-api).
 |  - Python Binance (pip install python-binance). # Future Support
 |  - Yahoo Finance (pip install yfinance). # Almost Supported
 |  
 |  # Technical Analysis:
 |  - Pandas TA (pip install pandas_ta)
 |  
 |  ## Required Arguments:
 |  - tickers: A list of strings containing tickers. Example: ["SPY", "AAPL"]
 |  
 |  Methods defined here:
 |  
 |  __init__(self, tickers: list, tf: str = None, name: str = None, strategy: pandas_ta.core.Strategy = None, ds_name: str = 'av', **kwargs)
 |      Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
 |  
 |  __repr__(self) -> str
 |      Return repr(self).
 |  
 |  indicators(self, *args, **kwargs) -> <built-in function any>
 |      Returns the list of indicators that are available with Pandas Ta.
 |  
 |  load(self, ticker: str = None, tf: str = None, index: str = 'date', drop: list = [], plot: bool = False, **kwargs) -> pandas.core.frame.DataFrame
 |      Loads or Downloads (if a local csv does not exist) the data from the
 |      Data Source. When successful, it returns a Data Frame for the requested
 |      ticker. If no tickers are given, it loads all the tickers.
 |  
 |  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 |  Data descriptors defined here:
 |  
 |  __dict__
 |      dictionary for instance variables (if defined)
 |  
 |  __weakref__
 |      list of weak references to the object (if defined)
 |  
 |  data
 |      When not None, it contains a dictionary of DataFrames keyed by ticker. data = {"SPY": pd.DataFrame, ...}
 |  
 |  name
 |      The name of the Watchlist. Default: "Watchlist: {Watchlist.tickers}".
 |  
 |  strategy

 |      If a string, it it converted to a list. Example: "AAPL" -> ["AAPL"]
 |          * Does not accept, comma seperated strings.
 |      If a list, checks if it is a list of strings.
 |  
 |  verbose
 |      Toggle the verbose property. Default: False

Default Strategy is "Common"

# No arguments loads all the tickers and applies the Strategy to each ticker.
# The result can be accessed with Watchlist's 'data' property which returns a 
# dictionary keyed by ticker and DataFrames as values

Indicator Composition/Chaining

  • When you need an indicator to depend on the value of a prior indicator
  • Utilitze prefix or suffix to help identify unique columns or avoid column name clashes.

Additional Strategy Options

The params keyword takes a tuple as a shorthand to the parameter arguments in order.

  • Note: If the indicator arguments change, so will results. Breaking Changes will always be posted on the README.

The col_numbers keyword takes a tuple specifying which column to return if the result is a DataFrame.
