Extended Indicators

Extended indicators go beyond the TA-Lib standard set.

Extended Indicators — Popular indicators not in the TA-Lib standard set.

All indicator logic is implemented in Rust (PyO3) for maximum performance. This module provides the public Python API with: - Input validation - _to_f64 conversion - pandas/polars-compatible return values (numpy arrays)

ferro_ta.extended.SUPERTREND(high, low, close, timeperiod=7, multiplier=3.0)[source]

Supertrend indicator.

An ATR-based trend-following indicator. Returns the Supertrend line and a direction array.

Parameters:

high (array-like) – Sequence of high prices.
low (array-like) – Sequence of low prices.
close (array-like) – Sequence of closing prices.
timeperiod (int, optional) – ATR period (default 7).
multiplier (float, optional) – ATR multiplier for band width (default 3.0).

Returns:

supertrend (numpy.ndarray) – The Supertrend line values. NaN during the warmup period.
direction (numpy.ndarray) – 1 = uptrend (price above Supertrend), -1 = downtrend. 0 during warmup.

Return type:

tuple[ndarray, ndarray]

Notes

Implemented in Rust — the sequential band-adjustment loop that was previously a Python bottleneck now runs at native speed.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from ferro_ta import SUPERTREND
>>> h = np.array([10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 11.0, 10.0, 9.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0,
...               12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 13.0, 12.0])
>>> l = h - 1.0
>>> c = (h + l) / 2.0
>>> st, dir_ = SUPERTREND(h, l, c)

ferro_ta.extended.VWAP(high, low, close, volume, timeperiod=0)[source]

Volume Weighted Average Price.

Parameters:

low (array-like) – Sequence of low prices.
close (array-like) – Sequence of closing prices.
volume (array-like) – Sequence of volumes.
timeperiod (int, optional) – Rolling window length. 0 (default) computes a cumulative VWAP from bar 0 (session VWAP). Any value >= 1 uses a rolling window of that length; the first timeperiod - 1 values are NaN.

Notes

Typical price is used: (high + low + close) / 3. Implemented in Rust for maximum performance.
