Available indicators in the Strategy Editor

List of technical indicators available in AlgoCloud's Strategy Editor. AlgoCloud uses the TA-Lib library, so all standard TA-Lib indicators are supported.

Updated today

AlgoCloud's Strategy Editor uses the TA-Lib technical analysis library — the same library used in most professional trading platforms. That means you have access to the full standard TA-Lib indicator set when building entry and exit rules.

Indicators not in TA-Lib (and therefore not built-in)

TA-Lib does not include these indicators, so they are not in the Strategy Editor dropdown:

  • Keltner Channels — derivable as EMA ± multiplier × ATR using Variables + Formulas.

  • Donchian Channels — derivable as Highest(high, N) and Lowest(low, N).

  • TTM Squeeze — can be composed from Bollinger Bands + Keltner + momentum.

  • Heiken Ashi — a charting overlay; values can be computed in Variables but the Strategy Editor doesn't expose HA candles natively.

  • Dollar Volume — compose as Close × Volume in a Variable.

If you'd like one of these built in, email [email protected] — priority on the roadmap is based on demand.

Custom indicators via Variables & Formulas

You can compose your own indicators by combining TA-Lib indicators with math operations (add, subtract, multiply, max, min, if/then). See Introduction to Strategy Editor.
