title: Candlestick charts in python.. Despite all examples found - cannot fix the blank dates for weekends/holidays
body: <p>I did research the issue and found some examples of how other users fixed the issue with gaps on the chart for the weekends/holidays, but, i am just unable to fix my code to resolve the issue.</p>
  
  <p>i download the data from bloomberg api, i can chart it, but i am unable to fix the chart to look like the examples that i found.</p>
  
  <p>i did find 2-3 of other possible solutions on how to resolve the issue, but i dont knot what i am doing wrong that it is not resolving the issue.</p>
  
  <pre><code> # bloomberg download code here no need to bore you with something you wont be able to run without a terminal.. sorry...
  
   adjclosevalues = pd.DataFrame(adj_values,columns = smartindex)
   adjclosevalues=adjclosevalues.set_index('Date', drop=True)
  
  
   adjclosevalues = adjclosevalues.reset_index()
   adjclosevalues.Date = pd.to_datetime(adjclosevalues.Date)
   adjclosevalues = adjclosevalues[['Date', 'Open', 'High', 'Low', 'Close', 'Volume']]
   adjclosevalues["Date"] = 
   adjclosevalues["Date"].apply(mdates.date2num)
  
   fig = plt.figure()
   ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((1, 1), (0, 0), colspan=20)
   candlestick_ohlc(ax1, adjclosevalues.values, width=0.4, colorup='#77d879', colordown='#db3f3f')
  
   for label in ax1.xaxis.get_ticklabels():
      label.set_rotation(90)
  
      ax1.xaxis.set_major_formatter(mdates.DateFormatter('%Y-%m-%d'))
      ax1.xaxis.set_major_locator(mticker.MaxNLocator(10))
      ax1.grid(True)
  
      plt.xlabel('Date')
      plt.ylabel('Price')
      plt.title('Chart')
      plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.09, bottom=0.20, right=0.94, top=0.90, wspace=0.2, hspace=0)
      plt.show(block=False)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know it is probably something very simple, but just i cannot figure out how to adjust the index to display just the business days AND make it work.  I did go through other examples. it should be embarrassing and it is.</p>
