Usage

Quickstart using integrated time-series example

from pypnf import PointFigureChart
from pypnf import dataset

symbol = 'AAPL'  # or 'MSFT'

ts = dataset(symbol)

pnf = PointFigureChart(ts=ts, method='cl', reversal=2, boxsize=5, scaling='abs', title=symbol)

print(pnf)

Plotting Point&Figure Charts

from pypnf import PointFigureChart
from pypnf import dataset

data = dataset('^SPX')

pnf = PointFigureChart(ts=data, method='h/l', reversal=2, boxsize=50, scaling='abs', title='^SPX')
pnf.bollinger(5, 2)
pnf.donchian(8,2)
pnf.psar(0.02, 0.2)
pnf.show()

Quickstart using time-series data loaded via the external package yfinance

If the yfinance and/or pandas package is not yet installed use:

pip install pandas
pip install yfinance

In order to process the downloaded data with the PointFigureChart-class the time-series data needs to be prepared.

import yfinance as yf

symbol = 'AAPL'

data = yf.Ticker(symbol)
ts = data.history(start='2018-01-01', end='2018-06-30')

# reset index
ts.reset_index(level=0, inplace=True)

# convert pd.timestamp to string
ts['Date'] = ts['Date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

# select required keys
ts = ts[['Date','Open','High','Low','Close']]

# convert DataFrame to dictionary
ts = ts.to_dict('list')

Initiate the PointFigureChart object with the prepared data and chart parameter, get the trendlines and print the resulting Point and Figure Chart.

from pypnf import PointFigureChart

pnf = PointFigureChart(ts=ts, method='cl', reversal=3, boxsize=2, scaling='abs', title='AAPL')
pnf.get_trendlines()
print(pnf)
