The SMA and the intraday series were inversed on my end, I removed df2.index = df1.index and that fixed the issue if anyone else runs into that issue.

00:04:56 To see all the data in the Time Series print total_df ( which is line 23 in the code ). If the Jupyter Notebook crashes ( as it sometimes notoriously does ) you may have to reinstall as follows:
!pip install alpha_vantage.

Great stuff man and very down to earth !

[valueray]

any idea how to code in python: how "respected" is as example the sma50? how much does it act as support/resistance with a measured and reliable number?

[William_sJazzLoft]

This is motivating me to look at your videos on numpy and pandas ☺😊😎

Can you explain why their is a meta_data variable set to the data frame. If I remove that unused variable, the code doesn't work. Thanks
