So I have been able to successfully install mplfinance with pip and when I import it alone I receive no error. Though when I do: from mplfinance import candlestick_ohlc I get the error ImportError: cannot import name 'candlestick_ohlc' from 'mplfinance' I have checked command prompt again, and it says it has successfully installed mplfinance. Why am I receiving this error?

You do not have to import 'candlestick_ohlc' anymore.

'mplfinance.plot()' defaults to ohlc style charts.

These links provide good examples. The second one uses candlesticks. You can change that arg.
