Calculate Resistance and Pivot Points | Python For Finance Episode 6

[@tech2044]

Unlike so many videos involving python yours actually works! Great job!

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Glen!

[@martorella123]

Richard, Thank you for this ! I recently started at a new firm where all the automated trading is done in Python. Thus far the extent of my programming experience has been with Easy Language in TradeStation and MultiCharts. These videos are extremely helpful! John

[@pavansshanbhag]

I came to this video through a medium post and i must say, you have done something powerful with very few lines of code. God bless you for sharing this peice of knowledge!

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Pavan! Could you link the medium post?

[@alexblagojevic3425]

Hey man. I watched one of your videos like 8 months ago and now im making a GUI for my trading system. Just wanted to say thanks and youre the man.

[@RichardMoglen]

Awesome Alex! Shoot me some screenshots over on twitter I'd love to see what you've come up with

[@toddroloff93]

Nicely done!!! I like your logic and the way you break down the coding so rookies like myself can grasp it is great..Your passion for both programming and finance shines through..Keep up the great work..Thank you

[@RichardMoglen]

I appreciate that!

[@chaitanyapai1551]

Building an algo trading system and this is exactly what I needed! Amazing logic man, this video deserves a lot more views. Thanks a lot and God bless you!

[@RichardMoglen]

Sounds cool! best of luck

[@10fersen]

How is it going?

[@ml0k1]

Thanks Richard. I always look forward to your videos.

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks man!

[@hishamashour5771]

This is by far the best explanation, I'd really like to thank you a lot for this, you've earned a subscriber. Keep up the great work man!

[@RichardMoglen]

Awesome, thank you!

[@efueyo]

Once again, thank you for your excellent work. For those of us who do not understand spoken English well, but if we defend ourselves quite well with written English, it would be very useful to be able to access the transcripts.

The videos are awesome. Haven't programmed in a while - you Richard are inspiring me to go back to what I started doing out of college!!

[@RichardMoglen]

Great to hear! Best of luck with it!

[@benjamintreitz1647]

Moglen, you are the coolest dude ever. Great series

[@RichardMoglen]

Haha thanks Benkamin!

[@matthewrenegar6559]

If you try the reverse (currentMin, min instead of currentMax, max), it will fail due to a dates == 0 will occur and fail when timeD is added to it in the final for loop. The below code will fix that. if counter==5: if currentMin == 0: pass else: lastPivot=currentMin dateloc=Range.index(lastPivot) lastDate=dateRange[dateloc] pivots.append(lastPivot) dates.append(lastDate)

[@SamiSabirIdrissi]

Thanks Blake!

[@michelemeloni3079]

Thanks man, you're a genius 🤜 Please go on with other videos !!

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks, will do!

[@enzanto]

Great tutorial. I created a script like this. And one for checking if they break pivot point. And reporting straight to my discord. Will run it in a container in my kubernetes cluster :D

[@alokeranjan6320]

Very nicely explain the code, I was searching the exact code. You are awesome. keep it up.

[@RichardMoglen]

Glad I could help!

[@alexwutzke7459]

This is really great! Thanks for doing this!

Great video Richard, very cool

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Brett!

[@LatinoWebStudio]

Thanks so much for the video! Is there an episode to calculate a pivot point for support? Once it starts running back up? I'm thinking of using it with the email alert, one for resistance and one for support, if possible.

[@skybat723]

great stuff Richard--love it---helps so much for support and resistance and we can write extra MA strategies on top---helps a lot for newcomers especially squinting their eyes to draw support/resistance.... could you please explain how to apply to 50week calculations? i see your example goes back to 1 year back...but where are you defining this... trying to map 10 days out to 50 weeks..

[@PeterJavorkai_is_on_fire]

Woop woop, I really like these python sessions! 🤘

Nice work... Thanks

[@RichardMoglen]

No problem 👍

[@GTAVaultSeries]

How can I fix the chart not popping up? I have everything you have coded in the video but the chart and the pivot points don't show. Any suggestions?

[@johnbroe6116]

Keep up the great work!!! Also if you don't mind could you add the code to this tutorial

[@rafaelosorio2251]

Hi Richard, thanks for you tutorials, are excellent. One thing please, I get error on this code, I compare mine and the screen and apparently are the same, could you share the code please?..Thanks.

[@drizzle4728]

Thank you.

[@SIMONONLY]

Really appreciated for the tutorials , i did learn great deal from it . Over the last 2 days , i tried to rewrite your code in diff style. Can you provide me with some comments. Especially on drawbacks. start = dt.datetime( 2019,6,1) end = dt.datetime(2020, 9,18) today = dt.datetime.today() tickers =['TSLA'] for ticker in tickers: df = web.DataReader(ticker,'yahoo', start, today) df['10dHigh']= df['High'].rolling(10).max() dfk= df[df['10dHigh'].shift(-5)==df['High']]['High'] df['High'].plot(figsize=(12,8)) dfk.plot(style= "r.", marker =1, markersize = 36)

[@k2icc]

Have you ever tried Harmonic Patterns such as per youtuber "PythonParseltongue"? It was a nice series, but the guy never finished up. That could be a nice one to recreate and finish to the next step. Great videos you are making too.

[@sonsam1391]

Hello, can you tell me how I can trade 1-minute charts for index futures? How to judge from today's closing price whether the market's opening price will rise or fall tomorrow? thank you

[@OzgurUrhan]

Thanks for video. How can we select more than one stock?

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Ozgur, make a list of tickers and then iterate through that list

[@jburns3210]

Richard, thanks for the great videos. Could you recommend a python book that deals with financials for me.

[@jenaman0001]

Hi Richard, nice video. Thanks for it. I was trying to see if is there any way we can plot (interactive) candlestick charts instead of the line chart. Also, annotate the last price on the chart. Please guide.

[@jenaman0001]

Hi Richard, this a very good video and lots of things are clarified. Can we do the same thing to find the bottom of the stock price... Support levels ...then it can be a good entry point to catch the big moves.. please suggest..

[@jenaman0001]

Nevermind, I figured it out. One question though, I guess we will the marks for support after 5 Days correct ??

[@priyanandanavarmamudunuri3787]

Awesome video!!.......Could share how to add a stop loss may be at a support level and trail the SL at subsequent supports?

[@sagarkapile8704]

Thanks Richard for the short and simple code for Resistance. What are the modification we need to do to make it for intra-day on 5 mins candle .

[@RichardMoglen]

Hi sagar, any time frame should work the same, but you would need the data for intraday

[@anthonymacle1880]

Hi Richard, in case we get an alert once a pivot has been busted, what happen if the prices retarces below and then bust it again. Could we find a way to get the alert again ?

[@prathammehta3275]

This is really helpful! Will a similar logic work for calculating the support?

[@RichardMoglen]

Yes absolutely

[@prathammehta3275]

@@RichardMoglen Perfect! However, what would you suggest for a more ML-based approach to this?

[@efueyo]

Thanks Richard. Really great. It would be nice to be able to access the full code. It is difficult to transcribe it from the video. I have done it and when executing it returns the error -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in 29 Range = Range [1: 9] 30 Range.append (value) ---> 31 dateRange = dateRange [1: 9] 32 dateRange = dateRange.append (i) 33 TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable What can be the cause?. Perhaps some copied sentence I have not done correctly. I am blocked.

[@dancat333]

ah, I have a working set of code. I think your mistake is it should be "dateRange.append(i)" not "dateRange = dateRange.append (i)"

[@yosualumbangaol7867]

Hi Richard, very nice explanation. Btw, I got some error that said: "ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all()." I think this error relate to your line 29, which you use 'default = 0'. My default letter's color is also didnt change. Dou you have any ideas to solve this problem?

[@oliverludwig6148]

Could we adapt this code, so it works for currency pairs as well?

[@RichardMoglen]

If you can find a source for the data absolutely!

[@oliverludwig6148]

@@RichardMoglen I could find historical currency data on yahoo finance and on dukascopy.com, which I can download as csv, which is good enough for now. My current goal would be to be able to backtest trading strategies, in particular one, which is based on resistance levels, so I'm glad, that you posted these playlist just recently. However my Python knowledge is still rather basic, and if I try myself at this advanced stuff, I sooner or later find myself in a jungle of cryptic error messages. F.e: the currency data from yahoo finance is different than stock data. df.info() gives floats for stocks, but objects for currency. Weirdly I also have code, which works in Spyder, but not Jupyter notebook.

[@stephenrwafa2519]

I did adapt it for forex it works great.

[@martinprzybylski]

Richard, thanks for the videos, they are really great. I have a question.. how can I remove the hours, minutes and seconds when you print the pivots and dates? Thanks again!

[@theshortcut101]

Would it be possible to substitute the highs for lows and find the areas of support? Thank you great video!

[@RichardMoglen]

Yes absolutely! That sounds like a very interesting idea

Hey Rich great work I have one question tsla msft got called green and they got crushed your thoughts thx

[@RichardMoglen]

Got called green? Neither has presented a strong setup yet.

[@phitaumatthew]

Hi Richard. How would one do a S/R program that would look back over say 2 years of historical data and be able to pull out S/R with Price by Volume?

[@RichardMoglen]

Hi Matthew, these pivot points only take into account price. You could definitely find support levels the same way. Including volume is a bit tougher because yahoo does not have intraday volume/price data

[@phitaumatthew]

@@RichardMoglen Thanks so much for the quick reply. But if you had an API that had the volume, could you pull that way? If so, how would one do that?

[@thabangtsajoa716]

Very great content, question: why is your range [1:9] not [1:10]? I didn't understand that part.

[@trocchiettoski]

you change the first 9, the 10 is then append, in this way you iterate instead that 1 number per time, 10 numbers at time so that you can calculate if there is a max pivot, namely a value that is bigger than the last 5 and previous 5
