pip install mplfinance

pip install yfinance

pip install pandas-datareader

Import yfinance as yf

Import mplfinance as mpf

Import pandas_datareader import data as pdr

Dataset Required: datetime, ticker daily pricing & volume data

First thing thing, we need to implement fix-yahoo-finance library to replace broken yahoo-finance from pandas


yf.pdr_override()

Then, we can get the specific ticker data by inputting the time range and using get_data_yahoo


Data = pdr.get_data_yahoo(“AAPL”, dt.datetime(2023, 1, 1), dt.datetime.now())

Set date as index

We need to set the date as the index before generating the graph


Data.index.name = “Date”

Plot the manipulated dataset using mplfinance and candle type


mpf.plot(data, type=”candle”, mav=(3 ,6, 9), volume=True)
