Yfinance instead of quandl?

Hello, 

when developing the simple strategy moving average cross over

is it necessary to import data from Quandl or can I also use yfinance instead?

Hello Aaron,



You can definitely get data from yfinance as well. Please have a look at this blog to understand how to go about it. 

How should we interest to others code. When we ask how to use yfinance to yours tutorials. We know how to use yfiance! we ask to the code. 



run(bars5m, rl_config) Try sent yfinance to it what happen? Why is 'last' not close… in tutorials speaks on Close and Open, Low. But not in code they use other expression to code. They are not turorials to code is n´t.

Hi Johan,



It seems there has been a misunderstanding. The above question pertains to whether we can use quandl or yfinance to download price related data. And accordingly it was addressed as well as a blog link given which tells you how to download the data, at different frequencies as well.

Note that different data providers can have different formats in which the data is represented. Of course we try to keep our content simple and consistent. In this case, if you check the code for rl_config, there is a section where the open, low, etc have been renamed. 



I hope this helps resolve your query.
