1. Display data from a csv:
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
# Columns: time | open | high | low | close | volume
df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
chart.set(df)
chart.show(block=True)
2. Updating bars in real-time:
import pandas as pd
from time import sleep
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
df1 = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
df2 = pd.read_csv('next_ohlcv.csv')
chart.set(df1)
chart.show()
last_close = df1.iloc[-1]['close']
for i, series in df2.iterrows():
chart.update(series)
if series['close'] > 20 and last_close < 20:
chart.marker(text='The price crossed $20!')
last_close = series['close']
sleep(0.1)
3. Updating bars from tick data in real-time:
import pandas as pd
from time import sleep
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
df1 = pd.read_csv('ohlc.csv')
# Columns: time | price
df2 = pd.read_csv('ticks.csv')
chart = Chart()
chart.set(df1)
chart.show()
for i, tick in df2.iterrows():
chart.update_from_tick(tick)
sleep(0.03)
4. Line Indicators:
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
def calculate_sma(df, period: int = 50):
return pd.DataFrame({
'time': df['date'],
f'SMA {period}': df['close'].rolling(window=period).mean()
}).dropna()
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
chart.legend(visible=True)
df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
chart.set(df)
line = chart.create_line('SMA 50')
sma_data = calculate_sma(df, period=50)
line.set(sma_data)
chart.show(block=True)
5. Styling:
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
chart.layout(background_color='#090008', text_color='#FFFFFF', font_size=16,
font_family='Helvetica')
chart.candle_style(up_color='#00ff55', down_color='#ed4807',
border_up_color='#FFFFFF', border_down_color='#FFFFFF',
wick_up_color='#FFFFFF', wick_down_color='#FFFFFF')
chart.volume_config(up_color='#00ff55', down_color='#ed4807')
chart.watermark('1D', color='rgba(180, 180, 240, 0.7)')
chart.crosshair(mode='normal', vert_color='#FFFFFF', vert_style='dotted',
horz_color='#FFFFFF', horz_style='dotted')
chart.legend(visible=True, font_size=14)
chart.set(df)
chart.show(block=True)
6. Callbacks:
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
def get_bar_data(symbol, timeframe):
if symbol not in ('AAPL', 'GOOGL', 'TSLA'):
print(f'No data for "{symbol}"')
return pd.DataFrame()
return pd.read_csv(f'bar_data/{symbol}_{timeframe}.csv')
def on_search(chart, searched_string): # Called when the user searches.
new_data = get_bar_data(searched_string, chart.topbar['timeframe'].value)
if new_data.empty:
return
chart.topbar['symbol'].set(searched_string)
chart.set(new_data)
def on_timeframe_selection(chart): # Called when the user changes the timeframe.
new_data = get_bar_data(chart.topbar['symbol'].value, chart.topbar['timeframe'].value)
if new_data.empty:
return
chart.set(new_data, True)
def on_horizontal_line_move(chart, line):
print(f'Horizontal line moved to: {line.price}')
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart(toolbox=True)
chart.legend(True)
chart.events.search += on_search
chart.topbar.textbox('symbol', 'TSLA')
chart.topbar.switcher('timeframe', ('1min', '5min', '30min'), default='5min',
func=on_timeframe_selection)
df = get_bar_data('TSLA', '5min')
chart.set(df)
chart.horizontal_line(200, func=on_horizontal_line_move)
chart.show(block=True)
