Technical analysis math

Library for calculating technical indicators and overlays. You can choose format of price data from provider and library will return result. It distributed with Typescript, ES6 and ES5.

Check example with plotly library, ccxt data provider and BTC prices from Binance exchange.

Usage

  const ohlcv = [[t,o,h,l,c,v], [t2,o2,h2,l2,c2,v2],  ...  ,[tN,oN,hN,lN,cN,vN]];
  const ta = new TA(ohlcv, TA.exchangeFormat);
  const emaShort = ta.ema(10);
  const emaLong = ta.ema(21);
  const bband = ta.bb(15, 2);
  const bbUpper = bband.upper;
  const bbLower = bband.lower;
  const smaOpenPrice = TA.sma(ta.$open);

Installation

Install npm package npm i ta-math or add ta-math.js script file on web page.

Feel free to contribute. Here reference how to implement new indicators. There are test samples in the .xls files, also you can generate testing data with 'generator.py' file. To convert columns into rows in .xls you can use this tool.
