Thanks for removing the clock. It was a source of distraction. Now I can pay better attention to the lecture.

[@elu1]

Very nicely made video to explain the library. Thanks you so much

[@akbarboghani1]

thanks for sharing this. very useful video indeed. is it possible to fetch the commodities data and the derivatives data.

[@rastislavlukac6487]

You do excellent job Chad ! Your videos are very useful. However, I would like to ask one question. Why do I get from following two functions completely different results? Pandas-TA result seems to be wrong... a = ta.trend.STCIndicator(close=data["close"], window_fast=12, window_slow=26, cycle=10, smooth1=3, smooth2=3, fillna=True).stc() b = pandas_ta.stc(close=data["close"],tclen=10, fast=12, slow=26 ,factor=0.5) Is it in the parameters smooth and factor?

[@ChadThackray]

Yes you'll want to make sure that the parameters are the same. In this example I think your smoothing value is off. If that's still not right then you'll want to check the code between the two repos and see if there's a difference in methodology

[@TheSnath]

Hi Chad, I want to run the ta functions on a df that is not from yfinance. Is that possible? If so, what all do I need to take care of

[@ChadThackray]

Should be exactly the same. Just make sure your dataframe looks like the yfinance one

[@franky12]

Is there any plot function built-in to easily plot the calculated indicators?

[@ChadThackray]

Not that I'm aware of. But it's only one line in matplotlib or plotly.

[@hedgingera2170]

the close price passed into ta should be 'Close' or 'Adj Close' ? thanks

[@vatsalshah7557]

Is the underlying data pulled from Yahoo Finance?

[@allentoronto]

For once, the software is actually really useful

[@amywarke3481]

I do love pandas 🐼

[@lucysproule4643]

Me too! Keep up the good work chad :)

[@barbann5091]

I tried to import from yfinance exactly as shown above with df.ta.ticker("SPY",...etc) and got an error message "Yahoo has again changed data format, yfinance now unsure which key(s) is for decryption:" plus a page full of stuff -no dataframe.

[@ChadThackray]

Update your version of yfinance. Looks like the issue is resolved now if you check the github issues
