Pandas OHLC aggregation on OHLC data

Question

I understand that OHLC re-sampling of time series data in Pandas, using one column of data, will work perfectly, for example on the following dataframe:

>         


        

Answer 1

This is similar to the answer you linked, but it a little cleaner, and faster, because it uses the optimized aggregations, rather than lambdas.

Note that the resample(...).agg(...) syntax requires pandas version 0.18.0.

In [101]: df.resample('1H').agg({'openbid': 'first', 
                                 'highbid': 'max', 
                                 'lowbid': 'min', 
                                 'closebid': 'last'})
Out[101]: 
                      lowbid  highbid  closebid  openbid
