A problem when migrating Quantopian 1 codes to Quantopian 2 codes for ta-lib

I have tried Quantopian 1 and run some backtests based on technical analysis library. Everything was fine. However, when I tried to migrate them yesterday, the new system seems too slow for me. I don't know why. For my ideas, I want to use ta-lib to test which signals in ta-lib I should choose for a simple multi-factor mean reversion strategy. I do not want to write those all signals in the ta-lib from scratch.

Hi,

A few signals have been rewritten as Pipeline factors in this community post and attached notebook. While there are still signals which have yet to be rewritten, it shouldn't be too difficult to write the ones you'll need in your algorithm.

As an added bonus, many of these ta-lib factors have seen a tremendous speed increase with the pipeline migration.

Best,
Lotanna Ezenwa
