From my experience, when getting data for intraday or for multiple points for a single day, time zone is required in order to plot it with a proper time.
For example: timezone_str = "America/New_York" data = yf.download(...) if not data.index.tz: data.index = data.index.tz_localize('UTC') data.index = data.index.tz_convert(timezone_str)
Otherwise graph might show trades based on UTC.

Great point, thanks for sharing.
I'll likely do a longer series on timezone information (including what a huge PITA it is), but in general I like to use the
pendulumlibrary to take care of dates and timezones. I then have a helper function to converts Pendulum'sDateTimeobjects to Pandas timestamps (and vice versa).

Marina, can you send me an email?

It's not a problem as your code is on Github :) and since Javascript is more habitual to me than Python, I'm doing the same here with Google Finance and spreadsheets - not much to boast about yet (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093281?hl=en-GB&ref_topic=3105411&sjid=7233491433172159302-EU)
