Technicals catalog
Technicals has four categories: Moving averages & VWAP, Oscillators, Trend & direction and Volatility & bands. Each signal links to its full reference page.
Moving averages & VWAP
SMAs, EMAs, and VWAPs, with the distances, above/below states, and crosses they own.
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
day_vwap | numeric | Today’s session volume-weighted average price. |
ema_12 | numeric | 12-day EMA. Fast-side input of canonical MACD (macd = ema_12 − ema_26). |
ema_21 | numeric | 21-day EMA. Often paired with ema_9 for short-trend bias; also serves as a dynamic-support reference. |
ema_26 | numeric | 26-day EMA. Slow-side input of canonical MACD (macd = ema_12 − ema_26). |
ema_9 | numeric | 9-day exponential moving average of close. Most-recent-weighted; reacts faster than the same-period SMA. Commonly paired with ema_21 for short-trend bias. |
from_sma_10_pct | numeric | Percent difference between current close and sma_10. Positive = above MA, negative = below. Continuous version of the above_sma_10 boolean. |
from_sma_100_pct | numeric | Percent difference between current close and sma_100. Daily-cadence because the slow MA changes slowly. |
from_sma_20_pct | numeric | Percent difference between current close and sma_20. Continuous version of the above_sma_20 boolean. |
from_sma_200_pct | numeric | Percent distance from the 200-day SMA. Negative when price is below the average. |

sma_10_crossed_below_50_today | state | The 10-day SMA crossed below the 50-day SMA today — a short-term bearish cross.sma_10 crossed below sma_50 vs. the prior session |
