How It Works​

The Performance Indicators node calculates technical analysis indicators related to performance in financial data. When executed, the node:

  1. Reads the input data from the specified Data Path
  2. Sets the Index Key column as the index for the data
  3. Calculates the selected performance indicator using the specified Length parameter
  4. Saves the results to the specified Indicator Path

Requirements​

  • A CSV file with financial data at the specified Data Path
  • Valid column names in the CSV file
  • Write permissions for the specified Indicator Path

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Data Path
  • Invalid Indicator Path
  • Invalid Length parameter
  • Invalid Custom Indicator name
  • Issues reading or writing CSV files

Usage Notes​

  • The default Length is 10, but can be adjusted based on your analysis needs
  • The calculated indicators are saved in CSV format at the specified Indicator Path
  • For best results, ensure your input data is properly formatted with consistent intervals
