Details and Options
- InteractiveTradingChart 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}].
- InteractiveTradingChart[Tabular[…]cspec] extracts and plots values from the tabular object using the column specification cspec.
- The following forms of column specifications cspec are allowed for plotting tabular data:
-
{coldate,{colopen,colhigh,collow,colclose,colvol}} plot values from columns {colopen,…,colvol} against dates from coldate - 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 - InteractiveTradingChart has the same options as Graphics with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
-
Appearance "Candlestick" appearance to use AspectRatio 1/GoldenRatio overall ratio of height to width 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 PlotTheme $PlotTheme overall theme for the plot TrendStyle Automatic how to style up and down trends ScalingFunctions None how to scale the 
axis - Possible settings for Appearance include: "Candlestick", "OHLC", "Line", and None.
- The arguments supplied to ChartElementFunction are the box region {{xmin,xmax},{ymin,ymax}}, the values {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 affects the display and none of the controls.
- Style and other specifications from options and other constructs in InteractiveTradingChart are effectively applied in the order TrendStyle, ColorFunction, Style and other wrappers, and ChartElementFunction, with later specifications overriding earlier ones.
