matplotlib.finance

A collection of functions for collecting, analyzing and plotting financial data. User contributions welcome!

This module is deprecated in 1.4 and will be moved to mpl_toolkits or it?s own project in the future.

matplotlib.finance.fetch_historical_yahoo(ticker, date1, date2, cachename=None, dividends=False)

Fetch historical data for ticker between date1 and date2. date1 and date2 are date or datetime instances, or (year, month, day) sequences.

Parameters:

ticker : str

ticker

date1 : sequence of form (year, month, day), datetime, or date

start date

date2 : sequence of form (year, month, day), datetime, or date

end date

cachename : str

cachename is the name of the local file cache. If None, will default to the md5 hash or the url (which incorporates the ticker and date range)

dividends : bool

set dividends=True to return dividends instead of price data. With this option set, parse functions will not work

Returns:

file_handle : file handle

a file handle is returned

Examples

>>> fh = fetch_historical_yahoo('^GSPC', (2000, 1, 1), (2001, 12, 31))
matplotlib.finance.index_bar(ax, vals, facecolor='b', edgecolor='l', width=4, alpha=1.0)

Add a bar collection graph with height vals (-1 is missing).

Parameters:

ax : Axes

an Axes instance to plot to

vals : sequence

a sequence of values

facecolor : color

the color of the bar face

edgecolor : color

the color of the bar edges

The barrCollection added to the axes

matplotlib.finance.md5(x)
matplotlib.finance.parse_yahoo_historical_ochl(fh, adjusted=True, asobject=False)

Parse the historical data in file handle fh from yahoo finance.

Parameters:

adjusted : bool

If True (default) replace open, close, high, low prices with their adjusted values. The adjustment is by a scale factor, S = adjusted_close/close. Adjusted prices are actual prices multiplied by S.

Volume is not adjusted as it is already backward split adjusted by Yahoo. If you want to compute dollars traded, multiply volume by the adjusted close, regardless of whether you choose adjusted = True|False.

asobject : bool or None

If False (default for compatibility with earlier versions) return a list of tuples containing

d, open, close, high, low, volume

If None (preferred alternative to False), return a 2-D ndarray corresponding to the list of tuples.

Otherwise return a numpy recarray with

date, year, month, day, d, open, close, high, low, volume, adjusted_close

where d is a floating poing representation of date, as returned by date2num, and date is a python standard library datetime.date instance.

The name of this kwarg is a historical artifact. Formerly, True returned a cbook Bunch holding 1-D ndarrays. The behavior of a numpy recarray is very similar to the Bunch.

matplotlib.finance.parse_yahoo_historical_ohlc(fh, adjusted=True, asobject=False)

Parse the historical data in file handle fh from yahoo finance.

Parameters:

adjusted : bool

If True (default) replace open, high, low, close prices with their adjusted values. The adjustment is by a scale factor, S = adjusted_close/close. Adjusted prices are actual prices multiplied by S.

Volume is not adjusted as it is already backward split adjusted by Yahoo. If you want to compute dollars traded, multiply volume by the adjusted close, regardless of whether you choose adjusted = True|False.

asobject : bool or None

If False (default for compatibility with earlier versions) return a list of tuples containing

d, open, high, low, close, volume

If None (preferred alternative to False), return a 2-D ndarray corresponding to the list of tuples.

Otherwise return a numpy recarray with

date, year, month, day, d, open, high, low, close, volume, adjusted_close

where d is a floating poing representation of date, as returned by date2num, and date is a python standard library datetime.date instance.

The name of this kwarg is a historical artifact. Formerly, True returned a cbook Bunch holding 1-D ndarrays. The behavior of a numpy recarray is very similar to the Bunch.
