Setting Technical Indicator Parameters with BigQuant DAI SQL

Summary

This discussion answers how to calculate indicators with chosen parameters in BigQuant. It points users to DAI SQL’s technical analysis operators, which use TA-Lib, and illustrates the approach with a moving average applied to an open-price series. A SQL example retrieves dates, instruments, and indicator values from daily Chinese stock bars over a specified period.

The page also refers to a complete strategy that uses a MACD-related calculation to rank prices and select a group of stocks. However, the displayed query example uses a moving average operator rather than demonstrating MACD’s fast, slow, and signal parameters. It does not show the full strategy implementation, explain the ranking logic, or provide backtest results, so the example is useful as a platform entry point rather than evidence that the approach is profitable.

Key ideas

• BigQuant DAI SQL provides technical analysis operators backed by TA-Lib.
• The example demonstrates applying a moving average operator to open prices.
• A SQL query can retrieve indicator values alongside dates and instrument identifiers.
• The referenced stock selection strategy lacks implementation details and performance evidence in this page.
