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

You need to use an OrderedDict to keep row order in the newer versions of pandas, like so:

import pandas as pd
from collections import OrderedDict

df['ctime'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ctime'], unit='s')
df = df.set_index('ctime')
df = df.resample('5Min').agg(
    OrderedDict([
        ('open', 'first'),
        ('high', 'max'),
        ('low', 'min'),
        ('close', 'last'),
        ('volume', 'sum'),
    ])
)
