You do not convert your
Morever even with correct converting you would plot only last bar (you are not keeping older values). And with that strange way to convert datetime to matplotlib dates through string and loadtxt you are discarding time part of timestamp, so you could end with hundreds of bars with same date. Perhaps better way is to use something like
You probably should split your function and have one function to convert downloaded data and second one to plot.

Perhaps better way is to use something like
matplotlib_date = mdates.date2num(datetime.fromtimestamp(day + 240 * offset))to convert posix timestamp to matplotlib date (real number where fractional part represents part of day).
