clarification on selected columns

[zzzint]

So I stumbled on this repo while building out some similar functionality. Curious as to your rationale on how you decided on the subset of 80 some odd indicators you've chosen to include and also what exactly Recommend.X or Rec.X are doing.

Thanks!

Hey @zi-nt,

No, I didn't choose to include the indicators. All indicators are from the dev tools (XHR > scan > Headers > Form Data).

The Rec values are needed to compute indicators into buy/sell/neutral recommendation as per algorithms in https://python-tradingview-ta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_it_works.html.

Please reply if you have any other questions. Hope this helps.

@deathlyface Ya that was what got me curious actually: I pulled mine the same way and ended up with a list of 210 or so indicators.

Can you send a screenshot or link?

Here's a pastebin of the full set of columns I pulled from TV's request after selecting everything on the screener page:

hi @brian-the-dev , the link https://python-tradingview-ta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_it_works.html you mentioned not exist any more, is it moved to other place?

thanks

Hi @wenli135,

I moved that page into the FAQ section when I migrated the docs from Markdown to reST. Here's the new link: https://python-tradingview-ta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-does-tradingview-ta-works.
