Hi @Vaibhavdixit02 !
Any form of contirubtion is welcomed!

About contributions:

I think "contribution" contains several faces.

1. The most comment but important contribution is filing bugs and providing helpful info, like opening a issue on GitHub and showing us the reproducing steps. Breaking the program and letting everyone know it is a nice contibution. It also encourages developers: "someone does use our code and he/she does care our project!".

2. You also can gripe and provide a concrete suggestion. Yes, please gripe and convince us that there is a better design/implementation. I know griping upsets everyone, but a rational suggestion is a origin of improvement as well!

3. discussion and design: a quite valuabe part of open source community. If you have any new idea, please tell us! This is source of inovation. Everyone in the community (including you and me) have different background and different perspective.

4. writting some code, solving issue and send it as PR. :)

Now, back to talk about JuliaQuant.
The big picture: JuliaQuant/Roadmap#3
The roadmap: /~https://github.com/JuliaQuant/Roadmap

Tons of repos need someone to polish up, upgrade syntax, upgrade documentation and take care of the design roadmap. If you are interested in some of project, and willing to take maintainership. Please discuss that with @milktrader.

• Some discussion is here (but too long): Differences between MarketTechnicals.jl, Indicators.jl and TALib.jl / Differences between Timeseries.jl and Temporal.jl #93

(Recently, I am struggle with julia 0.6 related issue in TimeSeries.jl...

Thanks you for beeing here!
