Incorporating Indicators from TAlib
===================================

boatwright was designed to make it as easy as possible to incorporate data from 3rd party libraries.
To demonstrate this, this strategy uses technical indicators from the `pandasTA <https://pypi.org/project/pandas-ta/>`_ python package.
All instances of timeseries data in Boatwright are as pandas dataframes. An advantage of this is that it is generally trivial to incorporate any 3rd party data, indicator, or custom function to use in your strategy.
Here, the strategy uses Bollinger Bands (Bbands), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and stochastic oscillator (stoch) indicators, buying when all 3 indicators suggest a bullish trend, and selling when 2 of them suggest a bearish trend.
