Technical indicator calculators operate on an ordered input array of data, transforming it into a new array containing the indicator output values. The length of the output array is the same as the input array.

Calculators expose a value accessor property (or a number of accessors if required) used to extract values from the source array. For calculators that only depend on a single value for their input, the value accessor defaults to the identity function.

Technical indicator parameters can be configured individually for each calculator instance. A default value is used if a parameter is not configured.

If an indicator calculator needs to create undefined values in the output (for example, the leading values of a moving average result), they will have the same structure as the other output objects, but will have primitive undefined property values.

Input values retrieved by the value accessor for which value == null is true will produce undefined values in the output. Undefined inputs are best avoided — a single undefined input value will produce undefined output for all output values that depend on it.
