indicator-market-structure-lines v0.0.13

indicator-market-structure-lines

adds marketStructure field to each candle in an [{open high low close volume}] array, with info about recent highs/lows above/below the current price

experimental, use at your own risk

Installation

npm i indicator-market-structure-lines

Usage

var candles = require('candles-sample-aapl').loadNMinuteCandles(45).slice(100);

var appendRecentMarketStructure = require('indicator-market-structure-lines').appendRecentMarketStructure;

var nPeriods = 9; //default 8
var keepNRecent = 3; //default 3
appendRecentMarketStructure(candles, nPeriods, keepNRecent); //works in-place

//each candle now has a field called .marketStructure with sub-field nPeriods

console.log(candles.slice(-1)[0].marketStructure[nPeriods+'']);

//result format:

//can also add liquidity sweep info [slow!]
