Plot daily closing prices

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

df.close.plot(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.title("Daily Closing Prices of JFC\nfrom 2018-01-01 to 2019-01-01", fontsize=20)

Analyze with a simple moving average (SMA) trading strategy

ma30 = df.close.rolling(30).mean()
close_ma30 = pd.concat([df.close, ma30], axis=1).dropna()
close_ma30.columns = ['Closing Price', 'Simple Moving Average (30 day)']

close_ma30.plot(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.title("Daily Closing Prices vs 30 day SMA of JFC\nfrom 2018-01-01 to 2019-01-01", fontsize=20)
