v3.0.0 - New Features

[BennyThadikaran]

Stock-Patterns v3 brings many new features.

• Ability to scan weekly and monthly timeframes with the default configuration.
• Ability to scan intraday timeframes with minimal configuration changes. Of course, you must have intraday data. 😜
• Use multiple config files for various configurations.
• CSV loading performance has been improved with csv_loader_v2
• A few bug fixes.

A flexible data loader system

By default, stock data gets loaded from CSV files. Which means you must maintain your data in CSV format. You can now define a custom class to load the data from any local Database/cloud storage or a Web API.

We use simple classes defined in src/loaders. The Loader class must implement the AbstractLoader class. It has just two methods. Add the class name to your JSON config file, and you're ready. The classes are dynamically loaded and called during execution. I'll update the wiki soon with more details.

Currently two classes are defined in src/loaders - EODFileLoader and IEODFileLoader for daily and intraday data.

One of the benefits is the decoupling of the data source and the scanner. The scanner knows nothing about the source of the data. The user is free to define the data source.

In the coming weeks, I intend to work on new patterns. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and feedback. 😍
