I am following the sample research environment example as given at
spy = qb.AddEquity("SPY")
h1 = qb.History(qb.Securities.Keys, 360, Resolution.Daily)
h1.loc["SPY"]["close"].plot()
I wanted to plot candle stick pattern instead of the linechart.

It is possible to create candlestick patterns using the library matplotlib.finance. The process of acquiring the historical data will remain the same so that can the dataframe it provides. In the attached project the method call matplotlib.finance.candlestick2_ohlc() produces the candlesticks.

matplotlib.finance has undergone some changes recently (see this link here) and we will be updating the foundation for the Research Environment. You can follow this issue in GitHub here to see the progress and when we implement a fix.
