How to generate CrossOver signal with "slowK and slowD" from TALIB and or BT Stochastic fonction ?

[GwadaMan]

Hello gas !!!

I discover BT tool with Remroc.
Could you please help me to find out the solution to display CrossOver signal coming from "slowK and slowD" of TALIB Stochastic fonction ?

In Unix everything is a file and in backtrader (mostly) everything is a lines object.

Both Stochastic indicators (own and from ta-lib) declare lines.

• Docs - ta-lib Indicator Reference : slowK and slowD
• Docs - Indicator Reference : percK and percD

Lines are reachable under lines attribute as in:

percK = Mystochastic.lines.percK

And backtrader contains an indicator to generate signals: CrossOver. There was a recent blog post using it (actually mixing with numbers).

• Blog - Crossing Over Numbers

In the docs you can also see additional crosses from data feeds and sma

• Doc - Comission Schemes

When no line is specified the 1st line of the object will be used.

It's finally so easy as:

crossover = bt.ind.CrossOver(line1, line2)
