Pandas TA Classic Documentation

Pandas TA Classic is an easy to use library that leverages the Pandas package with 224 indicators and utility functions plus 62 native candlestick patterns (284 unique total; cdl_doji and cdl_inside are counted in both sets). All CDL patterns are natively implemented — no TA-Lib required. This is the community maintained version of the popular pandas-ta library.

Note

The library features dynamic configuration management:

  • Category Discovery: Indicators are automatically detected from the package structure

  • Version Management: Python version support (the latest stable plus the prior 4 versions, currently 3.11–3.15) follows LATEST_PYTHON_VERSION in the CI workflow, which sets the test matrix and, at each release, the PyPI classifiers and requires-python

  • Both ensure the library metadata stays in sync with actual capabilities

Quick Start

Pandas TA Classic is simple to use — import the library and start calculating indicators directly on your DataFrame:

import pandas as pd
import pandas_ta_classic as ta

# Load your data
df = pd.read_csv("path/to/symbol.csv")

# Calculate indicators
df.ta.sma(length=20, append=True)
df.ta.rsi(append=True)
df.ta.macd(append=True)
