matplot finance not plotting window properly-CodePudding

I am using matplotlib finance (mpfinance) and am currently having weird intermittent plotting problems with it. (There are no tags for it within stack overflow so it's challenging to flag properly:

This isn't displaying the proper plot. Removing addplot = ap doesn't change this image.

However, the same code with a different ticker dataframe works below (they are in the same exact format)

# Plotting call ratio with close price and volume
ap = mpf.make_addplot((TSLA_df['call_ratio']), panel = 1, color = 'black', linestyle = 'dotted', ylabel = 'Call volume %')

mpf.plot(TSLA_df, 
         type = 'candle', 
         volume = True, 
         addplot = ap, 
         style = 'binance', 
         ylabel = 'TSLA share price',
         ylabel_lower = 'Call Volume')

Which produces:

They are both pulling data mentioning that specific ticker from the dataframe, and there are no NaN's, so I have no clue why it isn't working. I am trying to get the dashed line on y axis the bottom of the lower box. I guess I'm struggling to figure out why the same code is not working for a specific plot, and wondered if this type of issue was with my code of matplotlib finance.

If anyone has any ideas as to why this would be happening, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Sample df:

CodePudding user response：

You may want to print out your data arguments to make_addplot() and plot() calls, just before the call, to be absolutely certain that the following assumption holds ...

Assuming that your data has not changed as a result of:

I had this code working earlier tonight and displaying the 2 correct y labels/axis, and changed relatively nothing of importance ...

then it is very likely that the problem will be fixed by adding secondary_y=True in your call to mpf.make_addplot().
