Technical indicators to run technical analysis with JavaScript / TypeScript. 📈

Trading Signals

Technical indicators and overlays to run technical analysis with JavaScript / TypeScript.

Motivation

The "trading-signals" library provides a TypeScript implementation for common technical indicators with arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic. This library puts more emphasis on the correctness of the calculation than on performance.

Features

• Accurate. Don't rely on type number and its precision limits. Use Big.
• Typed. Source code is 100% TypeScript. No need to install external typings.
• Tested. Code coverage is 100%. No surprises when using it.

Technical Indicator Types

• Trend indicators: Measure the direction of a trend
• Volume indicators: Measure the strength of a trend (based on volume)
• Volatility indicators: Measure the strength of a trend (based on price)
• Momentum indicators: Measure the speed of price movement

Supported Technical Indicators

1. Acceleration Bands (ABANDS)
2. Accelerator Oscillator (AC)
3. Average Directional Index (ADX)
4. Average True Range (ATR)
5. Awesome Oscillator (AO)
6. Bollinger Bands (BBANDS)
7. Center of Gravity (CG)
8. Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA)
9. Dual Moving Average (DMA)
10. Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
11. Momentum (MOM)
12. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
13. Rate-of-Change (ROC)
14. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
15. Simple Moving Average (SMA)
16. Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA)
17. Stochastic Oscillator (STOCH)
18. Wilder's Smoothed Moving Average (WSMA)

Usage

import {SMA} from 'trading-signals';

const sma = new SMA(3);

// You can add numbers:
sma.update(40);
sma.update(30);
sma.update(20);

// You can add strings:
sma.update('10');

// You can add arbitrary-precision decimals:
import Big from 'big.js';
sma.update(new Big(30));

// You can get the result in various formats:
console.log(sma.getResult().valueOf()); // "20"
console.log(sma.getResult().toFixed(2)); // "20.00"

When to use update(...)?

You have to call an indicator's update method to enter input data. The update method may or may not return a result from the indicator depending on whether the minimum amount of input data has been reached.

When to use getResult()?

You can call getResult() at any point in time, but it throws errors unless an indicator has received the minimum amount of data. If you call getResult(), before an indicator has received the required amount of input values, a NotEnoughDataError will be thrown.

Example:

import {SMA} from 'trading-signals';

// Our interval is 3, so we need 3 input values
const sma = new SMA(3);

// We supply 2 input values
sma.update(10);
sma.update(40);

try {
  // We will get an error, because the minimum amount of inputs is 3
  sma.getResult();
} catch (error) {
  console.log(error.constructor.name); // "NotEnoughDataError"
}

// We will supply the 3rd input value
sma.update(70);

// Now, we will receive a proper result
console.log(sma.getResult().valueOf()); // "40"

Most of the time, the minimum amount of data depends on the interval / time period used.
