Add indicators

Indicators transform candle history into values a strategy can use.

Use built-in indicators when possible. Add a custom indicator when your strategy needs reusable derived data. Custom indicators are authored as TypeScript plugins.

Plugin Registration​

import { defineConfig } from '@tradejs/core/config';
import { basePreset } from '@tradejs/base';

export default defineConfig(basePreset, {
  indicators: ['./src/plugins/myIndicator.plugin.ts'],
});

Design Rules​

  • Keep indicators reusable and strategy-neutral.
  • Avoid future data leakage.
  • Keep current-value context separate from historical series.
  • Add figures only when they help inspect the decision.
