      Hi there. I'm having trouble getting bta-lib's adx() to work. Would greatly appreciate any help I can get from this group.

      Here's a small piece of code that demonstrates the problem, and below the code is the output I get from running it.

      C O D E:
      https://gist.github.com/randie/5cac0dbf845b8b323a311ed32abea2c7

      import pandas as pd
import btalib as bta

df = pd.read_csv("data/tickers/AMD.csv", parse_dates=True, index_col='Date')

df['rsi'] = bta.rsi(df).df  # works
df['adx'] = bta.adx(df).df  # does not work

print(df.tail())

      O U T P U T:

      #
# Output with adx() line commented out => works

          I am also getting the same error. Probably the library is wrong or badly made, I deduce that because nobody apparently knows anything about how to solve the error ...

            @randietrades Try running in the terminal or anything outside Jupyter. I suspect it's a notebook thing. Working for me in Pycharm.

              @run-out Thanks for your response.

              It's not a notebook thing- I am running in the terminal, not a Jupyter notebook.

              A little surprised it works in Pycharm but fails in other environments because the error is a TypeError regarding positional args which makes me think it's either a coding error or some library version incompatibility? Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

              Btw, I'm running python v3.8.8 from the Anaconda distribution. What version of python are you running? Can you post your output, the one that works in Pycharm?

              From my terminal:

                I ran this in terminal in a virtual environment. BTALIB is 1.0.0 for all.

                Here is the log:

                As you can see adx running no problem. But I notice my pandas version is a bit old. So I upgrade:

                Then I run the same script again as above.

                And now I have your error.

                And just to triple check, if I revert pandas to 1.0.4

                >>> import btalib

2006-12-28  15.879341
2006-12-29  15.302485
>>>

                Try installing an older version of pandas and see if that helps.

                  I tried pandas v1.0.4 (the version that worked for you), but some other error came up 🀨 This time the error looks like it's in numpy- what version of numpy is installed in your venv? Mine is v1.20.1.

                  Here's my output:

                    @run-out I found the library version incompatibility! I was running with numpy v1.20.1, the latest version. I installed an older version, the version of numpy available right around when btalib v1.0.0 was released, numpy v1.18.2. It worked πŸ™ŒπŸΌ So that means bta-lib needs to be updated to work with the latest versions of pandas and numpy.

                    Thanks again for taking the time to work this out with me πŸ‘πŸΌπŸŒ·
