Interactive Visualisation With AutoTrader

AutoTrader comes with its own automated charting module, AutoPlot. It is primarily used to visualise backtest results, but can also be used as a tool while developing indicators - as highlighted in this blog post

Template Script

The chart generated above was created with the script below.

from finta import TA
from autotrader.autodata import GetData
from autotrader.autoplot import AutoPlot
from autotrader.indicators import crossover, cross_values

# Instantiate GetData class
get_data = GetData()

# Get price data for EUR/USD
instrument = 'EURUSD=X'
data = get_data.yahoo(instrument, '1h', 
                      start_time='2021-01-01', 
                      end_time='2021-04-01')

# Calculate indicators
ema50 = TA.EMA(data, 50)
ema200 = TA.EMA(data, 200)
MACD_df = TA.MACD(data, 12, 26, 9)
MACD_CO = crossover(MACD_df.MACD, MACD_df.SIGNAL)
MACD_CO_vals = cross_values(MACD_df.MACD, MACD_df.SIGNAL, MACD_CO)

# Construct indicators dictionary
indicators = {'MACD (12/26/9)': {'type': 'MACD',
                                  'macd': MACD_df.MACD,
                                  'signal': MACD_df.SIGNAL,
                                  'crossvals': MACD_CO_vals},
            'EMA (50)': {'type': 'MA',
                          'data': ema50},
            'EMA (200)': {'type': 'MA',
                          'data': ema200},
            'MACD Crossovers': {'type': 'below',
                                'data': MACD_CO}}

# Instantiate AutoPlot and plot
ap = AutoPlot(data)
ap.plot(indicators=indicators, instrument=instrument)
