Is it possible to remove dependency on TAlib? about pinkfish HOT 8 CLOSED

I'll try to get a pip install within the next couple weeks. I my even try it out on Windows. I've been hesitant to make a pip version available for two reasons: pinkfish was under heavy development, and there was no easy way to install ta-lib. Both of these concerns are now out of the way.

Hello,

Yes. You should be able to comment out the TA-lib import within indicators.py. The CROSSOVER indicator uses TA-lib, so you should comment out that indicator. It should work from there without having TA-lib installed. You'll also need to remove TA-lib from requirements.txt. Many of the examples depend on the CROSSOVER indicator though.

This does give me an idea. I'm going to look into rolling my own moving average functions so that the dependency on TA-lib can be removed for the CROSSOVER indicator. From there, I should be able to create a pip package for pinkfish, which will make installing pinkfish just as easy as any other python project. Then TA-lib can just be an addition, but not required. This will take some time though that I currently don't have. Stay tuned.

In the mean time. Please look at my installation video on youtube. I demonstrate exactly how to set up pinkfish with TA-lib on Ubuntu. If you follow those instructions exactly, you should have no problems.

Hi, thanks I'll do that! Did you try some other indicators package?

Great news with going to pip package, that will make installation much easier

tombohub,

Thanks for bring up this issue. I just removed the ta-lib dependency for pinkfish API.
