1/ #pythontrading Tip of the Day 04/19/19 Creating and plotting simple moving averages in Python/Pandas... #trading #quant #quantfinance #fintwit #quanttrading #python #pandas

2/ Suppose we have a DataFrame (df) of open, high, low, close data We would have to: 1. Use pandas broadcasting to create a new column containing our rolling MA values. 2. Use pandas .rolling() function and chain .mean() to calculate a simple MA 3. Pick columns and use .plot()

Get the data into our notebook environment. We are using #quantopian here and their built in function "get_pricing"

Broadcast a new column called "SMA_200_day" Use Panda's .rolling() to get rolling values and chain .mean() to get rolling averages (aka a simple moving average)
