24.2 Code Repo Analyzing Bitcoin

Question

Has anyone made progress up to the final code repo for the Python for Finance course?

Answer 1

import numpy as np
import numpy_financial as npf

#price for 2018-2021
bitcoin = [3869.47, 7188.46, 22203.31, 29391.78]
devi1 = np.std(bitcoin)
print(devi1)

Answer 2

This was a tricky one. I didn't know how to handle the ret= without weights axis value described in the volatility lesson. Turns out, this works:

data = yf.Ticker('BTC-USD')
x = data.history('1y')['Close']

ret = x
risk = np.std(ret) * np.sqrt(252)
sharpe = (np.mean(ret) / np.std(ret))*np.sqrt(252)

print("Risk", risk)
print("Sharpe", sharpe)

plt.plot(x)
plt.savefig('plot.png')

Answer 3

No there is confusion. There is no proper explanation given.

Answer 4

Ok, so I'm not the only one that thinks that. Thanks!

Answer 5

My problem is that I think I have it done, but nevertheless I am stuck.
It doesn't show up as completed and therefore the following chapters are unavailable to me :-(
Has anybody the same problem?

Answer 6

If you can't get the code to work, you can go back to the lesson and continue through. After the code is 1 more question to finish the lesson
