#### Indicator libraries
Out of the box, freqtrade installs the following technical libraries:
* [ta-lib](http://mrjbq7.github.io/ta-lib/)
* [pandas-ta](https://twopirllc.github.io/pandas-ta/)
* [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical/)
Additional technical libraries can be installed as necessary, or custom indicators may be written / invented by the strategy author.
