Calculating Indicators
Overview
Trade indicators are measures (typically numeric) which are used to gauge whether an asset is a good buy (or sell).
Indicators include standard measures such as moving averages or momentum, but can include more complex measurements such as the
results of a machine learning algorithm.
Most market datasets will not include indicators in the dataset, they must be calculated and appended to the records.
Tools
There are multiple tools to calculating indicators. The most flexible way to calculate a set of indicators involves writing
basic scripts that perform the calculation and appends the results to the relevant records. As an alternative, an app
may be used to perform the calculation without scripting.
