ohlcv_accessors module

Custom pandas accessors for OHLC(V) data.

Methods can be accessed as follows:

The accessors inherit vectorbt.generic.accessors.

Note

Accessors do not utilize caching.

Column names

By default, vectorbt searches for columns with names 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', and 'volume' (case doesn't matter). You can change the naming either using ohlcv.column_names in settings, or by providing column_names directly to the accessor.

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> import vectorbt as vbt

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
...     'my_open1': [2, 3, 4, 3.5, 2.5],
...     'my_high2': [3, 4, 4.5, 4, 3],
...     'my_low3': [1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 2.5, 1.5],
...     'my_close4': [2.5, 3.5, 4, 3, 2],
...     'my_volume5': [10, 11, 10, 9, 10]
... })

>>> # vectorbt can't find columns
>>> df.vbt.ohlcv.get_column('open')
None

>>> my_column_names = dict(
...     open='my_open1',
...     high='my_high2',
...     low='my_low3',
...     close='my_close4',
...     volume='my_volume5',
... )
>>> ohlcv_acc = df.vbt.ohlcv(freq='d', column_names=my_column_names)
>>> ohlcv_acc.get_column('open')
0    2.0
1    3.0
2    4.0
3    3.5
4    2.5
Name: my_open1, dtype: float64

Stats

>>> ohlcv_acc.stats()
Start                           0
End                             4

First Price                   2.0
Lowest Price                  1.5
Highest Price                 4.5
Last Price                    2.0
First Volume                   10
Lowest Volume                   9
Highest Volume                 11
Last Volume                    10
Name: agg_func_mean, dtype: object

Plots

OHLCVDFAccessor class has a single subplot based on OHLCVDFAccessor.plot() (without volume):

>>> ohlcv_acc.plots(settings=dict(plot_type='candlestick'))


OHLCVDFAccessor class

OHLCVDFAccessor(
    obj,
    column_names=None,

Accessible through pd.DataFrame.vbt.ohlcv.

Returns OHLCVDFAccessor._metrics, which gets (deep) copied upon creation of each instance. Thus, changing this config won't affect the class.

To change metrics, you can either change the config in-place, override this property, or overwrite the instance variable OHLCVDFAccessor._metrics.
