ta-lib-python VS Alpaca-API

One such excellent Python library is TA-Lib. (https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib-python)

Have you looked TA-Lib?

TA-Lib

Dev here. I've wanted to get into doing this for as long as I can remember. Back in 2018 I got a half start at it, pulling in Binance candle data for all intervals with python and then running them all through every TA function of ta-lib to generate corresponding indicators. I intended to take it that next step further into picking up ML, and wanted to write a script that would pair every permutation of indicator looking for combinations that improve certainty for price direction changes (the certainty of BOLL + RSI was going to be used as my baseline for a known semi-reliable combo). I would really love to circle back someday to finishing that up, and then start sucking in candle data from as many markets as I could afford the AWS services for lol. That's my dream dashboard.

Not sure what they are using specifically, but ta-lib has candle pattern matching.

Just use TA-Lib https://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/

Doesn't seem like an official mirror but if you're curious what the code looks like, including the python/C bindings, here it is: https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib

I use talib https://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/ and it accurately mirrors binance

Is there anyone using Alpaca for long term and passive investing? I am neither a US nor Europe residence, so it is pretty hard to find a decent broker. I came across alpaca.market https://alpaca.markets/ and noticed that there is zero comission for buying and selling stocks. I know that it has pretty good API especially for developers and day traders, but i am particularly interested in long term passive investing, and not interesting in day trading at all. Is it goog for long term passive investing (buying and holding etfs)?

No worries at all! https://alpaca.markets/ is another route for market data. Real time data is cheaper but it is lacking technical analysis. We used to use it and it's pretty good.

Access to historical data from Alpaca and Yahoo Finance, or from your own data provider.

I have been looking at https://alpaca.markets/ and wanted to use it to test out some of my API based trading.

What guarantees or structures are in place to make sure it doesn't end up like FTX?

Market data is an easier one to answer. We currently use https://alpaca.markets/ and they're pretty good, but we're also looking at https://polygon.io/ as they're the industry leader (but also 2k per month for what we require).

I'm trying to make an HTTPS request with an ESP32 to this website alpaca.markets. I have the CA cert and I'm using WiFiClientSecure.h. Here's my code, main.cpp is underneath all that.

Or you can sign up for a free account at Alpaca and use their historical data API. Then you can get data on many tickers with one function call.
