The and daterange are the same as used in FinancialData.

The indicators can be any FinancialIndicator object.

Wrappers can be applied to indicators using the form .

Wrappers can be applied to the entire dataset using the form or .

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:

Appearance	"Candlestick"	appearance to use
AspectRatio	1/GoldenRatio	overall ratio of width to height
Axes	True	whether to draw axes
BarSpacing	Automatic	spacing between candles
ChartBaseStyle	Automatic	overall style for bars
ChartElementFunction	Automatic	how to generate raw graphics for candlesticks
ColorFunction	Automatic	how to color candles
ColorFunctionScaling	True	whether to normalize arguments to ColorFunction
DateFunction	Automatic	how to convert dates to standard form
EventLabels	None	events to label
GridLines	Automatic	grid lines to draw
GridLinesStyle	Automatic	style for grid lines
PerformanceGoal	$PerformanceGoal	aspects of performance to try to optimize
TrendStyle	Automatic	how to style up and down trends
ScalingFunctions	None	how to scale the axis

Possible settings for Appearance include: , , , and None.

The arguments supplied to ChartElementFunction are the box region , , and metadata .

A list of built-in settings for ChartElementFunction can be obtained from .

The arguments supplied to ColorFunction are .

With ScalingFunctions, the function 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.
