Usage

Examples:

# Bollinger Bands

# Closing prices
series = [31.875, 32.125, 32.3125, 32.125, 31.875]

bb = RubyTechnicalAnalysis::BollingerBands.new(series: series, period: 5)

bb.valid?
# => true

bb.call
# => [32.397, 32.062, 31.727]

# Intraday Momentum Index 

# [Open, Close]
oc_series = [[18.4833, 18.5], [18.5417, 18.4167], [18.4167, 18.1667], [18.1667, 18.125], [18.1667, 17.9583], [18.0417, 18], [18, 17.9583], [17.9167, 17.8333], [17.7917, 17.9583]]

imi = RubyTechnicalAnalysis::IntradayMomentumIndex.new(series: oc_series, period: 7)

imi.valid?
# => true

imi.call
# => 19.988

All indicators have the #valid? instance method to validate the indicator prior to calling #call.
