pandas-ta is a skill for Claude Code from agiprolabs/claude-trading-skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (2,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python library that adds more than 130 technical-analysis calculations to pandas tables of market data. These calculations cover trends, momentum, volatility, volume, and price patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate indicators such as RSI, ATR, MACD, and Bollinger Bands for crypto charts, trading signals, and research.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pandas-ta scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/compute_indicators.py, scripts/multi_indicator_scan.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

pandas-ta — Technical Analysis for Crypto Markets

pandas-ta is a Python library that extends pandas DataFrames with 130+ technical analysis indicators accessible via df.ta. It covers trend, momentum, volatility, volume, and overlap indicator categories — all callable with a single method on any OHLCV DataFrame.

Installation

uv pip install pandas-ta pandas httpx

Quick Start

import pandas as pd
import pandas_ta as ta

# Assume df is a DataFrame with columns: open, high, low, close, volume
# All lowercase column names required

# Single indicator
df["rsi"] = df.ta.rsi(length=14)
df["atr"] = df.ta.atr(length=14)

# Multiple indicators via strategy
df.ta.strategy(ta.Strategy(
    name="Quick Check",
    ta=[
        {"kind": "rsi", "length": 14},
        {"kind": "macd", "fast": 12, "slow": 26, "signal": 9},
        {"kind": "bbands", "length": 20, "std": 2.0},
    ]
))

OHLCV DataFrame Format

pandas-ta expects a DataFrame with lowercase column names:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "open": [...],
    "high": [...],
    "low": [...],
    "close": [...],
    "volume": [...]
}, index=pd.DatetimeIndex([...]))

Important: Set the index to a DatetimeIndex for time-aware indicators like VWAP. Column names must be lowercase (close, not Close).

Handling Missing Data

# Drop rows with NaN in OHLCV columns
df = df.dropna(subset=["open", "high", "low", "close", "volume"])

# Forward-fill small gaps (1-2 bars max)
df = df.ffill(limit=2)

# Verify no zero-volume bars for volume indicators
df = df[df["volume"] > 0]

Core Indicator Categories

Trend Indicators

Identify market direction and trend strength.

Indicator Call Key Signal
SMA df.ta.sma(length=20) Price above = bullish
EMA df.ta.ema(length=20) Faster than SMA, less lag
SuperTrend df.ta.supertrend(length=10, multiplier=3) Direction column: 1=bull, -1=bear
Ichimoku df.ta.ichimoku() Returns tuple of (span, lines) DataFrames
VWMA df.ta.vwma(length=20) Volume-weighted price trend
HMA df.ta.hma(length=20) Minimal lag, smooth trend
ADX df.ta.adx(length=14) >25 = trending, <20 = ranging

What ships with it

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
