Details and Options
- TradingChart by default includes a candlestick chart and a volume indicator.
- The dates datei are considered an ordered sequence of events, and are not shown on an absolute time scale. The date formats for datei are the same as used in DateListPlot.
- The "name" and daterange are the same as used in FinancialData.
- The indicators indi can be any FinancialIndicator object.
- Wrappers can be applied to indicators using the form w[indi].
- Wrappers can be applied to the entire dataset using the form w[{{date1,ohlcv1},…}] or w[{"name",daterange}].
- The following wrappers can be used:
-
Annotation[data,label]provide an annotation Button[data,action]define an action to execute when the element is clicked EventHandler[data,…]define a general event handler for the element Hyperlink[data,uri]make the element act as a hyperlink PopupWindow[data,cont]attach a popup window to the element StatusArea[data,label]display in the status area when the element is moused over Style[data,opts]show the element using the specified styles Tooltip[data,label]attach an arbitrary tooltip to the element - TradingChart has the same options as Graphics with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]

- The arguments supplied to ChartElementFunction are the box region {{xmin,xmax},{ymin,ymax}}, {datei,{oi,hi,li,ci}}, and metadata {m1,m2,…}.
- A list of built-in settings for ChartElementFunction can be obtained from ChartElementData["TradingChart"].
- The arguments supplied to ColorFunction are date,open,high,low,close,volume,close-open.
- With ScalingFunctions->sy, the function sy is applied to all prices (open, high, low, close). ScalingFunctions only affect the display and none of the controls.
- Style and other specifications from options and other constructs in TradingChart are effectively applied in the order TrendStyle, ColorFunction, Style and other wrappers, and ChartElementFunction, with later specifications overriding earlier ones.
