Stock Trend Analysis With Python mplfinance package (Released on June 2020)
Python is a very powerful programming language and easy to learn for beginners. Its usage is far and wide from automation, web-scrapping, machine learning, data science to gaming and entertainment.
In my view, the main strength of python language is the programmer ecosystem and the packages developed by them. These packages save tons of time and additional lines of coding, and works more like plug and play in our own program.
In this article, I am going to discuss about mplfinance package which is released just hot off the press in June 2020. We can generate stock trends and other financial plots with just a few lines of code using this module.
