# Validation Across TA Libraries

> "Trust, but verify." — Russian proverb (applicable to both Cold War diplomacy and technical indicator libraries)

Every indicator implementation makes implicit claims about correctness. QuanTAlib validates these claims by comparing outputs against established libraries: TA-Lib, Tulip, Skender.Stock.Indicators, OoplesFinance, and pandas-ta. Where implementations diverge, the differences get documented.

## Reading the Matrix

| Symbol | Meaning |
| :----: | :------ |
| ✔️ | Validated: outputs match within floating-point tolerance (1e-9) |
| ⚠️ | Partial match: minor discrepancies documented in indicator notes |
| ❔ | Implementation exists but not validated |
| - | No implementation in that library |

**Tolerance rationale:** Financial data uses double precision. Differences below 1e-9 stem from floating-point arithmetic order, not algorithmic divergence.

## Python Wrapper vs pandas-ta (Current Sweep)

Source: `python/tests/reports/pandas_ta_all_exported_report.md` (latest run)

- Total scanned: **134**
- Successful parity (✔️): **11**
- Non-comparable / intentionally skipped (⏭️): **80**
- Failing parity (⚠️): **43**

Recent wrapper/parity harness fixes completed:

- Hardened pandas-ta callable resolution and aliasing in `python/tests/run_all_exported_pandasta_validation.py`
- Added explicit **non-comparable** set instead of reporting these as hard failures
- Fixed mapping/signature adapters (for example `avgprice -> ohlc4`)
- Corrected Python bridge ABI signatures in `python/quantalib/_bridge.py` for:
  - `qtl_alma` (period + offset + sigma)
  - `qtl_dem` (requires period)
  - `qtl_etherm` (requires period)
- Updated wrapper defaults/signatures in `python/quantalib/indicators.py`:
  - `asi(limit=3.0)` (was invalid for native call path)
  - `dem(..., length=14)`
  - `etherm(..., length=14)`
  - full ALMA native parameters (`alma_offset`, `sigma`)

Next parity targets (highest impact):

1. Reduce remaining **numeric mismatches** in mapped indicators (`alma`, `bbands`, `rsi`, `roc`, `ema`, `dema`, `tema`, `stddev`, `variance`, `zscore`, volume oscillators).
2. Expand/replace generic sweep with indicator-specific adapters where formulas/defaults are known to differ.
3. Keep the sweep split into:
   - parity-comparable indicators
   - non-comparable indicators (tracked, not failed)

## Validation Libraries

| Library | Language | License | Notes |
| :------ | :------- | :------ | :---- |

| [Skender.Stock.Indicators](https://dotnet.stockindicators.dev/) | C# | MIT | Pure .NET. Active development. |

## Validation Philosophy

Three levels of confidence:

**Level 1: Cross-Library Agreement**
Multiple independent implementations produce identical results. Highest confidence. Most mainstream indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD) fall here.

**Level 2: Original Source Agreement**
No cross-library validation available, but implementation matches original research paper or patent description. JMA, various proprietary indicators fall here.

**Level 3: Mathematical Correctness Only**
No external reference exists. Implementation verified through unit tests, edge case handling, and mathematical properties (e.g., filter stability, energy preservation). Novel or obscure indicators fall here.

## Discrepancy Investigation

When validation fails:

1. **Check parameter mapping.** TA-Lib uses 0-based indexing for some parameters. Skender uses 1-based.
2. **Check warmup handling.** Different libraries handle the first N values differently.
3. **Check smoothing assumptions.** Some libraries use SMA for initial EMA seed. Others use the first value.
4. **Check edge cases.** NaN handling, zero division, and boundary conditions vary.

Discrepancies are documented in the indicator's markdown file under a "Validation Notes" section. The goal is not to match every library exactly. The goal is to understand why differences exist and document them.
