Say I have the following df called df_trading_pair which contains the following data from the BTC/USDT trading pair:

When running df_trading_pair.dtypes, the following output is returned:
Start Date datetime64[ns]
Open Price float64
High Price float64
Low Price float64
Close Price float64
End Date datetime64[ns]
dtype: object
I'm interested in plotting the data above to make it look like this:
So, I decided to build the following code to do so:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
def candlestick(t, o, h, l, c):
plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12), dpi=80)
color = ["green" if close_price >= open_price else "red" for close_price, open_price in zip(c, o)]
plt.bar(x=t, height=np.abs(o-c), bottom=np.min((o,c), axis=0), width=0.6, color=color)
plt.bar(x=t, height=h-l, bottom=l, width=0.1, color=color)
candlestick(df_trading_pair["Start Date"],
df_trading_pair["Open Price"],
df_trading_pair["High Price"],
df_trading_pair["Low Price"],
df_trading_pair["Close Price"])
plt.grid(alpha=0.2)
plt.show()
In theory, it should work as expected, but in reality it ended up being pretty disappointing:
I came here to politely request a feedback and alternative to make it work.
I think the sentence yaxis.set_label_position("right") could be added at the beginning of the candlestick function to set the y label to the right, but I don't know how could the x label be set to show only the time format in HH:MM:00 (i.e. 11:25:00) from the Start Date column.
May I get some assistance here?

Is matplotlib the only library that you can use? If possible, take a look at the Plotly
