Fincept Technicals is the technical-analysis engine behind every ta_* tool: moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, KAMA, MAMA, T3, HMA, ZLEMA, VWMA, variable-period), Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian and acceleration bands, parabolic SAR and SuperTrend, momentum (RSI, MACD, stochastics, KDJ, ADX/DI/DM, Aroon, CCI, MFI, ROC, TRIX, Williams %R, ultimate oscillator and more), volume (OBV, A/D, Chaikin, VWAP and more), volatility (ATR, NATR, true range and more), price transforms and Heikin-Ashi, Hilbert-transform cycle indicators, rolling statistics (beta, correlation, linear regression, percentiles), math transforms and operators, and all 61 candlestick patterns. Every parameter is settable, and results are series aligned to the dates with the warm-up bars reported. It runs on Fincept’s servers; your agent sends numbers or data references and gets back a result envelope with tables and charts.
Fincept Technicals tools are free. They count toward the rate limit only; a $fincept reference inside a call is charged like a direct call to that tool.

Modules

Tools are grouped in modules. Each module is a toolset named ta_<module>, so you can list it or search within it. The Fincept Technicals reference lists every module and tool. ta_catalog returns the live list of modules and tools from inside your agent.

Inputs

ta_describe lists every indicator’s inputs, parameters with their defaults, outputs and warm-up.

Limits

A computation that runs past its time limit answers timeout; a busy engine answers busy and the call can be retried a few seconds later.

Outputs

Every indicator tool returns its outputs as series aligned to the dates (null over the warm-up, reported per output), the last values and a line chart, drawn over the price for averages, bands and stops. ta_oscillator adds a bar chart of the histogram, and ta_candlestick and ta_candlestick_scan a candlestick chart with the signals; the scan lists which patterns fired on which dates, newest first. ta_indicators returns one aligned table of every output with each indicator’s parameters, warm-up and last values.

Example

Prompt
The agent searches for technical indicators, finds ta_indicators and ta_candlestick_scan, and passes the bars as a $fincept reference to market_get_candles at path candles.
