cover

lightweight-charts-python aims to provide a simple and pythonic way to access and implement TradingView's Lightweight Charts.

pip install lightweight-charts-v5 

Features

  1. Streamlined for live data, with methods for updating directly from tick data.
  2. Multi-pane charts using Subcharts.
  3. The Toolbox, allowing for trendlines, rectangles, rays and horizontal lines to be drawn directly onto charts.
  4. Events allowing for timeframe selectors (1min, 5min, 30min etc.), searching, hotkeys, and more.
  5. Tables for watchlists, order entry, and trade management.
  6. Direct integration of market data through Polygon.io's market data API.

Supports: Jupyter Notebooks, PyQt6, PyQt5, PySide6, wxPython, Streamlit, and asyncio.

1. Display data from a csv:

import pandas as pd from lightweight_charts import Chart if __name__ == '__main__': chart = Chart() # Columns: time | open | high | low | close | volume  df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv') chart.set(df) chart.show(block=True)

2. Updating bars in real-time:

import pandas as pd from time import sleep from lightweight_charts import Chart if __name__ == '__main__': chart = Chart() df1 = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv') df2 = pd.read_csv('next_ohlcv.csv') chart.set(df1) chart.show() last_close = df1.iloc[-1]['close'] for i, series in df2.iterrows(): chart.update(series) if series['close'] > 20 and last_close < 20: chart.marker(text='The price crossed $20!') last_close = series['close'] sleep(0.1)

3. Updating bars from tick data in real-time:

import pandas as pd from time import sleep from lightweight_charts import Chart if __name__ == '__main__': df1 = pd.read_csv('ohlc.csv') # Columns: time | price  df2 = pd.read_csv('ticks.csv') chart = Chart() chart.set(df1) chart.show() for i, tick in df2.iterrows(): chart.update_from_tick(tick) sleep(0.03)

4. Line Indicators:

import pandas as pd from lightweight_charts import Chart def calculate_sma(df, period: int = 50): return pd.DataFrame({ 'time': df['date'], f'SMA {period}': df['close'].rolling(window=period).mean() }).dropna() if __name__ == '__main__': chart = Chart() chart.legend(visible=True) df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv') chart.set(df) line = chart.create_line('SMA 50') sma_data = calculate_sma(df, period=50) line.set(sma_data) chart.show(block=True)

5. Styling:

import pandas as pd from lightweight_charts import Chart if __name__ == '__main__': chart = Chart() df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv') chart.layout(background_color='#090008', text_color='#FFFFFF', font_size=16, font_family='Helvetica') chart.candle_style(up_color='#00ff55', down_color='#ed4807', border_up_color='#FFFFFF', border_down_color='#FFFFFF', wick_up_color='#FFFFFF', wick_down_color='#FFFFFF') chart.volume_config(up_color='#00ff55', down_color='#ed4807') chart.watermark('1D', color='rgba(180, 180, 240, 0.7)') chart.crosshair(mode='normal', vert_color='#FFFFFF', vert_style='dotted', horz_color='#FFFFFF', horz_style='dotted') chart.legend(visible=True, font_size=14) chart.set(df) chart.show(block=True)

6. Callbacks:

import pandas as pd from lightweight_charts import Chart def get_bar_data(symbol, timeframe): if symbol not in ('AAPL', 'GOOGL', 'TSLA'): print(f'No data for "{symbol}"') return pd.DataFrame() return pd.read_csv(f'bar_data/{symbol}_{timeframe}.csv') def on_search(chart, searched_string): # Called when the user searches. new_data = get_bar_data(searched_string, chart.topbar['timeframe'].value) if new_data.empty: return chart.topbar['symbol'].set(searched_string) chart.set(new_data) def on_timeframe_selection(chart): # Called when the user changes the timeframe. new_data = get_bar_data(chart.topbar['symbol'].value, chart.topbar['timeframe'].value) if new_data.empty: return chart.set(new_data, True) def on_horizontal_line_move(chart, line): print(f'Horizontal line moved to: {line.price}') if __name__ == '__main__': chart = Chart(toolbox=True) chart.legend(True) chart.events.search += on_search chart.topbar.textbox('symbol', 'TSLA') chart.topbar.switcher('timeframe', ('1min', '5min', '30min'), default='5min', func=on_timeframe_selection) df = get_bar_data('TSLA', '5min') chart.set(df) chart.horizontal_line(200, func=on_horizontal_line_move) chart.show(block=True)
