Usage Tips

• No API key or registration required — works out of the box.
• All functions return pandas DataFrame — ready for analysis, export, and visualization.
• A-share data columns are in Chinese; US/HK stock data columns are in English.
• Use --upgrade to keep akshare up to date — interfaces update frequently due to upstream data source changes.
• Non-Python users can use the AKTools HTTP API wrapper.
• Data is for academic research only — not investment advice.

                         start_date="20240101", end_date="20241231", adjust="qfq")

# Convert close price to float (收盘 = close price)
df["收盘"] = df["收盘"].astype(float)

# Calculate moving averages
df["MA5"] = df["收盘"].rolling(window=5).mean()    # 5-day moving average
df["MA10"] = df["收盘"].rolling(window=10).mean()   # 10-day moving average
df["MA20"] = df["收盘"].rolling(window=20).mean()   # 20-day moving average
df["MA60"] = df["收盘"].rolling(window=60).mean()   # 60-day moving average

# Calculate MACD indicator
ema12 = df["收盘"].ewm(span=12, adjust=False).mean()  # 12-day exponential moving average
ema26 = df["收盘"].ewm(span=26, adjust=False).mean()  # 26-day exponential moving average
df["DIF"] = ema12 - ema26                              # Fast line (DIF)
df["DEA"] = df["DIF"].ewm(span=9, adjust=False).mean() # Slow line (DEA)
df["MACD"] = 2 * (df["DIF"] - df["DEA"])               # MACD histogram

# Calculate RSI indicator (14-day)
delta = df["收盘"].diff()
gain = delta.where(delta > 0, 0)       # Upward movement
loss = -delta.where(delta < 0, 0)      # Downward movement
avg_gain = gain.rolling(window=14).mean()
avg_loss = loss.rolling(window=14).mean()
rs = avg_gain / avg_loss
df["RSI14"] = 100 - (100 / (1 + rs))   # RSI value

# Calculate Bollinger Bands (20-day)
df["BOLL_MID"] = df["收盘"].rolling(window=20).mean()           # Middle band
df["BOLL_UP"] = df["BOLL_MID"] + 2 * df["收盘"].rolling(window=20).std()  # Upper band
df["BOLL_DN"] = df["BOLL_MID"] - 2 * df["收盘"].rolling(window=20).std()  # Lower band
