Supported Indicators
Derivative Oscillator
Introduction
This indicator represents the Derivative Oscillator Indicator, utilizing a moving average convergence-divergence (MACD) histogram to a double-smoothed relative strength index (RSI).
To view the implementation of this indicator, see the LEAN GitHub repository.
Using DO Indicator
To create an automatic indicators for DerivativeOscillator, call the DO helper method from the QCAlgorithm class. The DO method creates a DerivativeOscillator object, hooks it up for automatic updates, and returns it so you can used it in your algorithm. In most cases, you should call the helper method in the Initializeinitialize method.
public class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
private Symbol _symbol;
private DerivativeOscillator _do;
public override void Initialize()
{
_symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
_do = DO(_symbol, 14, 5, 3, 9);
}
public override void OnData(Slice data)
{
if (_do.IsReady)
{
// The current value of _do is represented by itself (_do)
// or _do.Current.Value
Plot("DerivativeOscillator", "do", _do);
}
}
} class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
def initialize(self) -> None:
self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
self._do = self.do(self._symbol, 14, 5, 3, 9)
def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
if self._do.is_ready:
# The current value of self._do is represented by self._do.current.value
self.plot("DerivativeOscillator", "do", self._do.current.value)
The following reference table describes the DO method:
do(symbol, rsi_period, smoothing_rsi_period, double_smoothing_rsi_period, signal_line_period, resolution=None, selector=None)[source]Creates a new DerivativeOscillator indicator.
- symbol (Symbol) — The symbol whose DO we want
- rsi_period (int) — The period over which to compute the RSI
- smoothing_rsi_period (int) — The period over which to compute the smoothing RSI
- double_smoothing_rsi_period (int) — The period over which to compute the double smoothing RSI
- signal_line_period (int) — The period over which to compute the signal line
- resolution (Resolution, optional) — The resolution
- selector (Callable[IBaseData, float], optional) — Selects a value from the BaseData to send into the indicator, if null defaults to the Value property of BaseData (x => x.Value)
The DerivativeOscillator indicator for the requested symbol over the specified period
DO(symbol, rsiPeriod, smoothingRsiPeriod, doubleSmoothingRsiPeriod, signalLinePeriod, resolution=None, selector=None)[source]Creates a new DerivativeOscillator indicator.
- symbol (Symbol) — The symbol whose DO we want
- rsiPeriod (Int32) — The period over which to compute the RSI
- smoothingRsiPeriod (Int32) — The period over which to compute the smoothing RSI
- doubleSmoothingRsiPeriod (Int32) — The period over which to compute the double smoothing RSI
- signalLinePeriod (Int32) — The period over which to compute the signal line
- resolution (Resolution, optional) — The resolution
- selector (Func<IBaseData, Decimal>, optional) — Selects a value from the BaseData to send into the indicator, if null defaults to the Value property of BaseData (x => x.Value)
The DerivativeOscillator indicator for the requested symbol over the specified period
If you don't provide a resolution, it defaults to the security resolution. If you provide a resolution, it must be greater than or equal to the resolution of the security. For instance, if you subscribe to hourly data for a security, you should update its indicator with data that spans 1 hour or longer.
For more information about the selector argument, see Alternative Price Fields.
For more information about plotting indicators, see Plotting Indicators.
You can manually create a DerivativeOscillator indicator, so it doesn't automatically update. Manual indicators let you update their values with any data you choose.
Updating your indicator manually enables you to control when the indicator is updated and what data you use to update it. To manually update the indicator, call the Updateupdate method with time/number pair or an IndicatorDataPoint. The indicator will only be ready after you prime it with enough data.
public class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
private Symbol _symbol;
private DerivativeOscillator _do;
public override void Initialize()
{
_symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
_do = new DerivativeOscillator("DerivativeOscillator", 14, 5, 3, 9);
}
public override void OnData(Slice data)
{
if (data.Bars.TryGetValue(_symbol, out var bar))
{
_do.Update(bar.EndTime, bar.Close);
}
if (_do.IsReady)
{
// The current value of _do is represented by itself (_do)
// or _do.Current.Value
Plot("DerivativeOscillator", "do", _do);
}
}
} class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
def initialize(self) -> None:
self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
self._do = DerivativeOscillator("DerivativeOscillator", 14, 5, 3, 9)
def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
bar = slice.bars.get(self._symbol)
if bar:
self._do.update(bar.EndTime, bar.Close)
if self._do.is_ready:
# The current value of self._do is represented by self._do.current.value
self.plot("DerivativeOscillator", "do", self._do.current.value)
To register a manual indicator for automatic updates with the security data, call the RegisterIndicatorregister_indicator method.
public class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
private Symbol _symbol;
private DerivativeOscillator _do;
public override void Initialize()
{
_symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;

{
// The current value of _do is represented by itself (_do)

} class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
def initialize(self) -> None:

Indicator History
To get the historical data of the DerivativeOscillator indicator, call the IndicatorHistoryself.indicator_history method.
This method resets your indicator, makes a history request, and updates the indicator with the historical data.
Just like with regular history requests, the IndicatorHistoryindicator_history method supports time periods based on a trailing number of bars, a trailing period of time, or a defined period of time.
If you don't provide a resolution argument, it defaults to match the resolution of the security subscription.
public class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
private Symbol _symbol;
public override void Initialize()
{
_symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
var do = DO(_symbol, 14, 5, 3, 9);
var countIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(do, _symbol, 100, Resolution.Minute);
var timeSpanIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(do, _symbol, TimeSpan.FromDays(10), Resolution.Minute);
var timePeriodIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(do, _symbol, new DateTime(2024, 7, 1), new DateTime(2024, 7, 5), Resolution.Minute);
}
} class DerivativeOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
def initialize(self) -> None:
self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
do = self.do(self._symbol, 14, 5, 3, 9)
count_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(do, self._symbol, 100, Resolution.MINUTE)
timedelta_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(do, self._symbol, timedelta(days=10), Resolution.MINUTE)
time_period_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(do, self._symbol, datetime(2024, 7, 1), datetime(2024, 7, 5), Resolution.MINUTE)
To make the IndicatorHistoryindicator_history method update the indicator with an alternative price field instead of the close (or mid-price) of each bar, pass a selector argument.
var indicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(do, 100, Resolution.Minute, (bar) => ((TradeBar)bar).High);
indicator_history = self.indicator_history(do, 100, Resolution.MINUTE, lambda bar: bar.high) indicator_history_df = indicator_history.data_frame
If you already have a list of Slice objects, you can pass them to the IndicatorHistoryindicator_history method to avoid the internal history request.
var history = History(_symbol, 100, Resolution.Minute); var historyIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(do, history);
