# Technical Indicator

`GET` `https://api.unusualwhales.com/api/stock/{ticker}/technical-indicator/{function}`

Returns any technical indicator time series for a ticker. Supports international stocks and OTC.

**Supported functions:** SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, TRIMA, KAMA, MAMA, T3, MACD, MACDEXT, STOCH, STOCHF, RSI, STOCHRSI, WILLR, ADX, ADXR, APO, PPO, MOM, BOP, CCI, CMO, ROC, ROCR, AROON, AROONOSC, MFI, TRIX, ULTOSC, DX, MINUS_DI, PLUS_DI, MINUS_DM, PLUS_DM, BBANDS, MIDPOINT, MIDPRICE, SAR, TRANGE, ATR, NATR, AD, ADOSC, OBV, HT_TRENDLINE, HT_SINE, HT_TRENDMODE, HT_DCPERIOD, HT_DCPHASE, HT_PHASOR, VWAP.

Not all parameters apply to every function. For example, STOCH and BOP only use `interval`, while RSI uses all three (`interval`, `time_period`, `series_type`).

The `month` parameter is only relevant for intraday intervals (1min, 5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). For daily/weekly/monthly intervals, full history is returned and `month` is ignored.
