Python Packages to Install: finance, mplfinance, pandas_datareader
yfinance is not affiliated, endorsed, or vetted by Yahoo, Inc. It’s an open-source tool that uses Yahoo’s publicly available APIs, and is intended for research and educational purposes.
matplotlib finance utilities is specifically used for the visualization, and visual analysis, of financial data
Pandas Datareader is a Python package that allows us to create a pandas DataFrame object by using various data sources from the int. ernet. It is popularly used for working with realtime stock price datasets
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)
