Pandas API contract
===================
**Contract**
- All indicators accept ``pandas.Series`` (or 1-D DataFrame columns) and return
``pandas.Series`` — or a **tuple of Series** for multi-output functions (e.g. MACD, BBANDS)
— with the **original index preserved**.
- Default OHLCV column names for DataFrames are ``open``, ``high``, ``low``, ``close``, ``volume``.
- To use different column names, use :func:`ferro_ta.utils.get_ohlcv` to extract arrays/Series
with configurable column names, then call the indicator.
**Single Series**
.. code-block:: python
import pandas as pd
from ferro_ta import SMA, RSI
close = pd.Series([44.34, 44.09, 44.15], index=pd.date_range("2024-01-01", periods=3))
sma = SMA(close, timeperiod=2) # returns pd.Series with same index
**DataFrame with OHLCV (configurable column names)**
.. code-block:: python
import pandas as pd
from ferro_ta import ATR, RSI
from ferro_ta.utils import get_ohlcv
df = pd.DataFrame({
"Open": [1, 2, 3], "High": [1.1, 2.1, 3.1],
"Low": [0.9, 1.9, 2.9], "Close": [1.05, 2.05, 3.05],
}, index=pd.date_range("2024-01-01", periods=3, freq="D"))
o, h, l, c, v = get_ohlcv(df, open_col="Open", high_col="High",
low_col="Low", close_col="Close", volume_col=None)
atr = ATR(h, l, c, timeperiod=2) # index preserved
rsi = RSI(c, timeperiod=2) # index preserved
**Multi-output**
Functions like ``MACD`` and ``BBANDS`` return a tuple of ``pandas.Series``, all with the same index as the input.
