Measurement unavailable
This repository does not currently include a reproducible cross-library benchmark harness or a captured result artifact. TradeClaw therefore publishes no latency numbers and claims no performance parity with TA-Lib or pandas-ta. A future comparison must include the benchmark code, environment, inputs, and raw output.
Same task: calculate RSI and generate a BUY/SELL signal
# 1. Start TradeClaw (one command)
docker compose up -d
# 2. Get RSI signal via REST API
curl https://localhost:3000/api/signals?symbol=EURUSD&indicator=RSI
# Response
{
"symbol": "EURUSD",
"indicator": "RSI",
"value": 42.7,
"signal": "BUY",
"strength": "medium",
"timestamp": "2026-03-28T05:00:00Z"
}TradeClaw: 2 steps — start Docker, call API. Others: fetch data, install libraries, write signal logic yourself.
