[hedgingera]

the close price passed into ta should be 'Close' or 'Adj Close' ?

Is the underlying data pulled from Yahoo Finance?

Hi Chad, I want to run the ta functions on a df that is not from yfinance. Is that possible? If so, what all do I need to take care of

[rastislavlukac]

You do excellent job Chad ! Your videos are very useful. However, I would like to ask one question. Why do I get from following two functions completely different results? Pandas-TA result seems to be wrong...

a = ta.trend.STCIndicator(close=data["close"], window_fast=12, window_slow=26, cycle=10, smooth1=3, smooth2=3, fillna=True).stc()

b = pandas_ta.stc(close=data["close"], tclen=10, fast=12, slow=26, factor=0.5)

Is it in the parameters smooth and factor?

[franky]

Is there any plot function built-in to easily plot the calculated indicators?

[allentoronto]

For once, the software is actually really useful

I tried to import from yfinance exactly as shown above with df.ta.ticker("SPY", ...etc) and got an error message "Yahoo has again changed data format, yfinance now unsure which key(s) is for decryption:" plus a page full of stuff -no dataframe.
