How To Create A Candlestick Chart In Python Using Plotly

Language:

In this tutorial, I will show you, how to create a Candlestick Chart in Python by using the library called Plotly.

I will show you, how you can pull stock data for free using the pandas DataReader and to plot the stock information in Candlestick Chart.

👩‍💻 Source Code:

 
import pandas_datareader as web
from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly
import sys, os
os.chdir(sys.path[0])

# Get Stock Data
start = datetime(2020,1,1)
end = datetime(2020,7,31)
stock ='TSLA'
df = web.DataReader(stock,'yahoo',start,end)
df = df.reset_index()

# Create Candlestick
fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Candlestick(
                            x=df['Date'],
                            open=df['Open'],
                            high=df['High'],
                            low=df['Low'],
                            close=df['Adj Close']
                            )])

# // Black Background and no gridlines
# fig.update_layout(plot_bgcolor='rgb(0,0,0)',
#                     xaxis =  {'showgrid': False},
#                     yaxis =  {'showgrid': False})

# Export Candlestick to HTML
plotly.offline.plot(fig, filename='Candlestick.html')
