Note: In this demo, it turns out I was running an early/old version of ta, which has the strange behavior of computing the moving average for the Bollinger Bands even for the first bar. So for the first bar, the average was equal to the closing price of the first bar. For the second bar, the average was the (first + second bar close) / 2, and so on. After upgrading to version 0.7 the numbers are now what you would expect - NaN values until there are 20 bars to average. Thanks to Todd below for pointing this out.

Larry is the best teacher ever. Such amazing videos and value as always.

This is amazing video. Thank you very much Larry!

Larry you are a fantastic and very clear teacher. I appreciate what I am picking up from your channel

[kicc]

You make this look very easy, but I know you do know the stuff. Thanks a lot for taking the time to share it. That speeds up anyone learning experience by a lot.

Exactly what I was looking for! Glad you decided to cover this library just now. Yesterday I was working on a bot hardcoding all the formula and math 😆 and than I found your video. It's gonna save me a lot of headaches 🤞🏽 cheers!

Awesome tutorial! Easy to follow. Thank you.

Just wanted to say Larry that I really appreciate your videos! I come from a stats and finance background so while I understand the finance concepts in theory and on paper with all of the nitty gritty maths, translating to code has never been easy for me. I have some experience but your videos are super and has made the transition so much smoother! Thanks mate and I'm looking forward for more stuff!

Thank you for making these your videos are excellent and very informative.

[cetilly]

[typeer]

Hi Larry - awesome video - thanks so much!
Curious behavior in the BollingerBands on my Windows PC (Python 3.8.4)...
When I run "bars = exchange.fetch_ohlcv('ETH/USDT', limit=20)", I get NaN values for upper_band, lower_band, moving_average (except for the last row). If I remove the limit and use print(df[-20:]), the values are fine.

Is anyone else seeing this output?

Was there a part 2 for this? This is GREAT! Thanks!

[faridparvez]

Great video, very clear.
Please make a video on roadmap to learning python from scratch, specifically for stock analysis, chart analysis, getting trade signals using charts and statistical analysis of stocks. I mean create a roadmap on the course tailored cut for only stock analysis .

Awesome as usual. twelvedata is awesome btw. You can get a Pandas dataframe simply by

from twelvedata import TDClient
td = TDClient(apikey=twelve_key)
ts = td.time_series('symbol'= 'AAPL')

ts.as_pandas()

Great content! Can't wait for the next video! Would be very interesting if you back-test your upcoming supertrend strategy with backtrader

[kgitc]

Be GREAT to see a video on Python Trading Bot using TA lib that alerts on price crossing MA, and MA's crossing.

Hey Larry thanks a million for you videos man! Your lectures are so easy to follow and you explain even the most complex concepts to clearly yu make itso easy. Yu are a genius man. Im trying to transfer your supertrend code into freqtrade but its not working for me. I like freqtrade coz yu can give bot a select number of assets to trade on instead of running many bot instances. Or maybe is it possible to add more assets for bot to monitor in this supertrend strategy. Your ecample has eth/usdt just wondering if adding more would work. Thanks dude

Looking forward on your next videos, are you going to use backtrader to test your strategies?
