I am a newbie who first want to trade and backtest my ideas, however there isn't much documentation and no explanation on the things that are exists. I guess the documentation is for experts.

parameters like thresholds, persistence, up, down, long, signal are not explained - is it months? minutes? percentage? what does it means?

For example I wanted to use EMA but the only thing in the docs is:


How should I write my code when this is all the docs there is?(sorry for the frustration :] )

Anyway, I was thinking on creating a strategy on EMA crossover 7+30 with 15 minutes candles.
If you can help me get started I really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Is there an elaborated documentation?

I'm looking for docs for understanding each function and what it does..
For example in the MACD, the "short","long" indicators I dont know if it by days/hours... And in general what each parameter stand for, it's very unclear to beginners.. The TA-lib indicators site isn't helpful either since it only elaborate the functions without any explanation & parameters details.

Can someone assist?
