You would then write the code, “conda install -c conda-forge ta-lib”, and press the “Enter” key.Īfter a few moments, the ta-lib package will be installed. To install Ta-Lib, you will first install Anaconda and then open the Anaconda prompt. It also makes life easier when it comes to installing various Python libraries. Install Ta-Lib Across Platforms Using Anaconda PromptĪnaconda is an open-source Python distribution platform that helps individuals, as well as commercial enterprises, implement their Python codes easily. That is all! Keeping that in mind, let us begin with the tutorial on Ta-Lib python library.

Instead of writing a few lines of code to first find the upper and lower bands and then the Bollinger band, we use Ta-Lib and input just one line of code to get the result. It was realised that instead of writing the same code, we could create a function and reduce the code length by a huge margin.

But don’t worry, in this article, we will simplify the installation for you so that you can focus on creating and backtesting strategies.

However, it is difficult and sometimes frustrating to install Ta-Lib in your python. Ta-lib includes 150+ indicators such as ADX, MACD, RSI and Bollinger Bands and candlestick pattern recognition. What started off as a hobby by Mario Fortier, Ta-Lib python library quickly rose to become one of the most famous libraries for technical analysis of stocks and other financial securities. Won’t it be amazing if you can compute these technical indicators in python in a few lines of code and backtest the performance of it on many financial securities? These indicators are added on charts using which you can set your entry and exit signals. Technical indicators are calculated using historical price and volume data to predict the market direction.
