Go to Anaconda installed location
pip install TA_Lib-0.4.17-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Go to mpl_finance-master folder

Use pandas_datareader to get stock data
- Store data in dataframe "df_700"
start = datetime.datetime(2018,11,1)
df_0700 = pdr.DataReader('0700.HK', 'yahoo', start=start)
Use set_xticklabels to create candlesticks
- lambda: anonymous function inside another function, disposable
- lambda arguments : expression. Can only have 1 expression
- strftime converts datetime to string. '%Y' year
- fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1) = 1x1 grid, (2,3,4) = 2x3 grid
- ax.set_xticks(range(0, len(data['date']), 10))
ax.set_xticklabels(data['date'][::10]) display x-axis every 10 days, can switch to 30 - Load variable from matplotlib.finance.candlestick2_ochl(ax, opens, closes, highs, lows, width=4, colorup='k', colordown='r', alpha=0.75)
df_0700.index = df_0700.index.format(formatter=lambda x: x.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(24, 8))
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax.set_xticks(range(0, len(df_0700.index), 10))
ax.set_xticklabels(df_0700.index[::10])

Add 50 day and 200 day simple moving average (SMA)
- Stock price below 50 day moving average is bullish, above is bearish
- Price meet 50 day support and bounces upward, think long. Bounce downwards, think short
- Price breaks 50 day SMA upward, opinion bullish. Downwards, opinion bearish
- Adjusted startdate to (2017,11,1) to show 200 day SMA
- Golden cross: 50 day SMA cross through 200 DMA to upside. Strategy is to hold until break in other side to stop loss
sma_50 = talib.SMA(np.array(df_0700['Close']), 50)

Adding KD (Stochastics oscillator)
- D>80: overbought, D<20: oversold
- When K>D: upward trend. K exceed D line: think long. K<D, think short
- Not reliable indicator in Signal more reliable when cross occur at >70 or < 30
- More accurate in large-cap shares
