问题
I am trying to make a simple candlestick ohlc chart with mpl_finance. On their website, it says that the first element in the quotes argument of the candlestick_ohlc method is the dates. It says that they must be formatted in the float date format. When i use date2num however, it gives me an error that says"Cannot convert -100000 to a date. This often happens if non-datetime values are passed to an axis that expects datetime objects." When i use my original list without the date2num method, it gives me an error that points to a line of code- xy=(t-OFFFSET, lower) and a message -"unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'datetime.date' and 'float'. it seems as if it wants me to use a float instead of a datetime.date but that contradicts the previous error. Here is my code. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

for day in thedatakeys:

counter = 0
for day in days:
delimitedyear.append(days[counter][0:4])

counter = counter + 1
d = []
for newcounter in range(len(delimitedyear)):
d.append(date(int(delimitedyear[newcounter]),
int(delimitedmonth[newcounter]),
int(delimitedday[newcounter])))
formatteddates = mdates.date2num(d)
ohlc = [formatteddates, dailyopen, dailyhigh, dailylow,
dailyclose]
print(formatteddates)
fl, ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (10,5))
candlestick_ohlc(ax, ohlc, width=.6, colorup='green',
colordown='red')
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(mdates.DateFormatter('%Y-%m'))
ax.grid(False)
plt.show()
回答1:
The format of the input to candlestick_ohlc
needs to be a list of (datetime, open, high, ...)
tuples, or the respective numpy array.
Here you are providing a list of [[datetime1, datetime2, ...], [open1, open2, ...], ...]
instead.
To convert to the required format, you may e.g. use
ohlc = list(zip(formatteddates, dailyopen, dailyhigh, dailylow, dailyclose))
