How to get a graph for stock market analysis?

Question

I updated the code and it now provides the graph, however after giving me the graph it produces the following error messages.

Warning (from warnings module): File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\collections.py", line 590 if self._edgecolors == str('face'): FutureWarning: elementwise comparison failed; returning scalar instead, but in the future will perform elementwise comparison

Please look at the thread Violin plot: warning with matplotlib 1.4.3 and pyplot fill_between warning since upgrade of numpy to 1.10.10

It seems there is a bug in matplotlib 1.4.3 (which has only started causing that error since the upgrade to numpy 1.10). This is reportedly corrected in 1.5.0 (which should be released soon). Hope this helps.
