Custom Candlestick Timeframe #675

Closed pije76 closed 3 months ago

pije76 commented 4 months ago

Can I create my own custom candlestick by using mplfinance? I want to create custom candlestick chart by using the data from lower timeframe (example: Hourly or Daily) and then create my custom Weekly or Monthly chart based on the specified date-frame from user input, example: from 15 May to 20 May (6 calendar days).

You can change the frequency of your candles using Pandas DataFrame resample functionality. See the following links for further details:
