Milton,
thank you so much - I wasn't aware of that RTBoxPlotDataSet but managed to
load it after a quick google research.
It looks almost perfect - adding color shouldn't be that complicated. And I
would need to ged rid of these horizontal lines on top of the wicks.
Thank you for sending me to the right direction!
Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan in Roassal2 there is Boxplot, similar as you
want.
| b createList r d today |
r := Random new.
createList := [ :size :d1 :d2 | (1 to: size) collect: [ :i | d1 + (r next
* (d2-d1))] ].
b := RTGrapher new.
today := d := Date today.
(1 to: 10) do: [ :i | | ds |
ds := RTBoxPlotDataSet new.
ds points: (createList value: 20 value: 0 value: 20).
ds model: d.
ds x: [ :date| date julianDayNumber - today julianDayNumber + 1 ].
b add: ds.
d := d next.].
b build.
^ b view.
Try to create a subclass of RTAbstractDataSet, such as RTC
andlestickDataset
Cheers,
Milton

Hi,
I just started to get into Roassal (with Pharo 4.0) with the goal to
visualize financial data like forex charts.
The common visualization is by using japanese candlesticks [1]
Because there is not predefined TRShape/ RTShape, I would need to create
those shapes on my own.
I suspect that this task can't be too complicated but because I'm that
very new to Roassal, I'm asking for some hints and maybe code examples.
The data needed to visualize one candlestick consists of a few numbers,
e.g.
20150501 001300;1.120890;1.120910;1.120890;1.120900;0 (-> downloaded from
[2])
First two numbers are Date and Time, the next four Numbers are: open,
high, low, close, that last one is the volume and can be omitted.
There is a bar to describe the price movement (open/ close) and wicks
that describe the highest course and the lowest course during that time
frame.
The above data describes a One-Minute-Candle.
So I'd really appreciate if anyone could give me hints or send me to the
right direciction.
regards
Stefan
