Why?

As I was scanning the supported functions of the widely-used library 'TA-Lib', I was missing some things I wanted to use, such as elasticity for comparison of markets and indicators like the McClellan oscillator. Besides that, the project seems abandoned as there have been no releases since 2007.

The goal of this library is to have most indicators built-in, where missing indicators can be suggested through the issue tracker and pull requests.

If there's enough demand as well as developer time, the functions will be ported to a language that will process them faster than Elixir currently can.

This repository uses GitHub releases to manage changes in the codebase.

Contributing

To ensure correct functioning of this library, you could help out in several ways.

1. Auditing
   Verifying the inputs and outputs of a given function and the corresponding unit tests.

2. Refactoring
   Updating the functions to a more readable state, or a state with better performance.

3. Suggesting
   Suggesting missing indicators or functions.
   If you're willing to do this, please send a draft with expected inputs and outputs of the function.

For more information, view CONTRIBUTING.md. Thanks!
