monthly-returns-heatmap 0.0.9

Quick Start

Let’s create a returns heatmap for SPY (S&P 500 Spider ETF).

First, let’s download SPY’s daily close prices from Google finance.

from pandas_datareader import data
prices = data.get_data_google("SPY")['Close']
returns = prices.pct_change()

Next, we’ll import monthly_returns_heatmap and plot the monthly return heatmap:

import monthly_returns_heatmap as mrh

returns.plot_monthly_returns_heatmap()
# mrh.plot(returns) # <== or using direct call

Getting heatmap data only (no plotting)

heatmap = prices.get_monthly_returns_heatmap()
# heatmap = mrh.get(returns) # <== or using direct call

print(heatmap)

# prints:
