I have a dataset as below and I want to see 3 days high low average, back from for each day in the same plot.

    index   closed  high    low     open
tarih                   
2018-05-18  1364    0.00000442  0.00000445  0.00000405  0.00000416

2018-05-21  1367    0.00000489  0.00000492  0.00000463  0.00000482

for example for 05-24 it will calculate 21,22,23 days high low average and point it to 05-24.

  • $\begingroup$ What you're looking for is called a rolling mean. With a bit of work it is easy to find. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you are using Python, the Pandas library has in-built methods for the rolling mean computation. You have to create a dataFrame with your data $\endgroup$

You can use the pandas rolling method for that. 

back = 3
cols = ['high','low']

# calculate rolling mean on the dataframe's columns of interest
df_back_average = df[cols].rolling(back).mean()

# rename columns before concatenating the result back
df_back_average.columns = str(back) + '_back_average_' + df_back_average.columns

pd.concat([df[cols],df_back_average], axis=1)


high        low         3_back_average_high     3_back_average_low
0.000442    0.000445    NaN                     NaN
0.004580    0.004650    NaN                     NaN
0.004820    0.004890    0.003281                0.003328
0.004890    0.004920    0.004763                0.004820
0.004750    0.004920    0.004820                0.004910
0.004610    0.004860    0.004750                0.004900
0.004620    0.004800    0.004660                0.004860
