I am looking for a python library that provides a simple set of financial calculations such as MACD, EMA and other indicators. I was looking for him, but either all the projects that tried to do this were dead or did not exist at all. Does such a library exist in existence?
Thanks.
ActiveState has a recommendation because there must be python packages to solve problems related to the financial industry. Have you checked this, and what contains everything you are looking for?
Check out TA-Lib . Pandas can have all the tools to build these calculations from scratch, but this library has almost all of the common technical indicators that you could request for simple functions already done.
pandas has all the necessary tools for this calculation. He has methods for moving averages, etc. It is very easy to execute technical indicators if you already have time series data in pandas data structures.
you can also see the http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/finance_work2.html bit of a long example, but it gives a very beautifully formatted MACD chart.
