This is a sample program of a Python stocks analyzer checking Yahoo Finance.

Stock Analysis with Flask

This project is a simple web application that performs stock analysis using historical data. It fetches data from Yahoo Finance, calculates technical indicators, and displays the results on an HTML page using Flask.

Features

• Fetch historical stock data from Yahoo Finance
• Calculate technical indicators such as Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Relative Strength Index (RSI)
• Display the stock data and indicators in interactive plots on a web page

Technologies Used

• Python
• Flask
• pandas
• pandas-ta
• yfinance
• matplotlib

Installation

Prerequisites

How It Works

• The application uses the yfinance library to fetch historical stock data.
• It calculates the 14-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) using pandas-ta.
• The data is plotted using matplotlib and displayed on a web page using Flask.
• The plots are rendered as images and embedded in the HTML template.
