Indicators

Indicators live in three buckets in the registry (src/indicators/mod.rs):

• Overlays draw on the price chart (bands, clouds, volume profiles).
• Panels render as separate rows below the price chart (oscillators, volume).
• External pull from third-party APIs (Binance derivatives, alternative.me).

Every name and every alias below is accepted by the CLI (-p <name>) and by the generate_chart MCP tool’s indicators parameter. Screenshots are rendered from AAPL daily data (overlays and panels) and BTCUSDT daily data (external) — regenerate with ./scripts/gen_screenshots.sh.
