Relative Strength Index in python pandas

Question

I am new to pandas. What is the best way to calculate the relative strength part in the RSI indicator in pandas? So far I got the following:

from pylab impor         


        

Answer 1

def RSI(series):
    delta = series.diff()
    u = delta * 0 
    d = u.copy()
    i_pos = delta > 0
    i_neg = delta < 0
    u[i_pos] = delta[i_pos]
    d[i_neg] = delta[i_neg]
    rs = moments.ewma(u, span=27) / moments.ewma(d, span=27)
    return 100 - 100 / (1 + rs)
