Ruby Wrapper for ta-lib
This project has been started by Timur Adigamov on Rubyforge,
but since it didn’t build on my machine and wasn’t complete i modified it slightly, et voila.
Important note for commit id 11277315208a8bfcfd2a3211e10b5732d6705fc7 and gem version 1.0.6
From now on all returned lists from talib_ruby now correspond to what ta-lib returns, i.e. there will be no longer leading nil values in any outXYZ lists.
The nil values will now be trailing nil values if your inserted outXYZ lists are too large (let’s say you always insert out arrays with the same length as the inXYZ lists).
Therefore the returned value outBegIdx is no more relevant for the outXYZ lists, since the first calculated value can be found right at index 0 in the outXYZ lists.
All calculated values are still the same, it’s only a shifting issue which has been corrected now.
Thanks go to Masayuki Yamamoto who showed me this.
Install ta-lib from MacPorts:
sudo port install ta-libOr install ta-lib from Homebrew:
sudo brew install ta-libIf you want to compile ta-lib from the sources (ta-lib.org) you have to use the following statements (thanks to rmldj):
./configure LDFLAGS="-lm"
make
sudo make installsudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch PLATFORM" gem install talib_ruby -- --with-talib-include=ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_TALIB_HEADERS --with-talib-lib=ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_TALIB_LIBS- PLATFORM = [i386 | x86_64 | …]
- ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_TALIB_HEADERS = The path to the ta-lib header files
- e.g. for Port: /opt/local/var/macports/software/ta-lib/0.4.0_0/opt/local/include
- e.g. for Homebrew: /usr/local/Cellar/ta-lib/0.4.0/include
- ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_TALIB_LIBS = The path to the ta-lib lib files
- e.g. fo Port: /opt/local/var/macports/software/ta-lib/0.4.0_0/opt/local/lib
- e.g. fo Homebrew: /usr/local/Cellar/ta-lib/0.4.0/lib
Now ta-lib can be used by using require ‘talib_ruby’
Needs at least Mac OSX 10.5. Has not been tested on Windows, but works there too what i’ve heard.
Tested with Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.3 and 2.0.0.
Calculation of Moving Average (MA):
require 'rubygems' require 'talib_ruby'# init input data a = Array.new 10.times { |i| a.push i.to_f }10.times do |k| b = Array.new(10) l = TaLib::Function.new("MA") # setup input parameter l.in_real(0,a) # setup optional parameter l.opt_int(0,k+2) # setup output parameter l.out_real(0,b) lookback = l.lookback l.call(0,9) p "k=#{k+2}" p b end
