Alpaca Market Data API (Part 3) - Technical Analysis (RSI, MACD) with Backtrader bta-lib

In this video, we use Backtrader's bta-lib to calculate several indicators (SMA, RSI, MACD) on the data we retrieved from the Alpaca Market Data REST API.

Hi Larry! Thank you. Keep up the good work. Are you planning to to do a video on linking the dynamic real time market data streaming to the graphs in react charts?

[DisloyalASP]

Hey Larry, do you have any tips for making a stock screener with Alpaca?

[MoboMixer]

Found your channel just a week ago and I've been watching almost every videos since then, great work!
Would be nice though if you could finish some of your video series like this one

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Depending on the operating system, a failure to close a file or do an explicit sync call before reading the file will cause unpredictable behavior. On Fedora, the pd.read_csv was not initializing the last many rows previously written with f.write 's. This sometimes cause hard to trace bugs because of inconsistent behavior across systems and across separate runs on same system.

How to use sandbox technique of "btalib" for live testing of algo strategies.?

[gauravsavlani]

Hey Larry,

Can I use a combination of (Td-Ameritrade + backtrader) instead of (Alpaca+ backtrader). My goal is to create a custom indicator which can send notifications whenever it observes a specific pattern. Appreciate your inputs

[taylornichols]

[Mr_Kasah]

[danimalz]

E*Trade has an API as well. Can you do an instructional video on setting up E-Trade API buy order with TradingView alerts? Thank you. Looks like TD Ameritrade is getting bought by Charles schwab and who knows if they will keep their API functionality
