.Net Charting Control

Hi, I'm building my own back-testing application in .NET (C#).

I need the facility to display market prices (and equity curves, etc) so that I can eyeball entries and exits, etc.

There are numerous .NET charting components on the market, and many of them have the facility to display financial data (bars, candlesticks, etc). I was wondering if anybody out there had actually used any of these components and could recommend them or not?

I particularly want the ability to display market prices with my own additional arrows and lines to define entry/exit points and stop-loss levels, etc. I realise that this feature request may be a bit of a tall order, but maybe somebody out there has done something similar?

Cheers

Hi Arold

I have used the Steema TChart control to do exactly the same thing and am very impressed with it, use it for all my charting needs. I am using the VCL version but their .Net version is very similar - www.steema.com

Hi Stew, thanks for the recommendation. I’m reviewing the web site now but as yet, I can’t find any mention of the ability to add your own, ad-hoc markings to the graph?

For instance, I want to add small green and red arrows to mark my entry/exit points. I would also like to add horizontal lines to indicate my trailing stop-loss levels.

Does the control allow this?

Thanks again for your feedback.

Arold

Yes you can do everything you want, will post an example later. Am pretty sure the .Net version will support this as well as the VCL version.

Sounds cool Stew. Would love to see an example if you have time later

Heres a chart showing entries and exits plus stop and target and trendlines on a pair plus a candle chart.

Hope this helps

That's exactly the kind of thing I needed to base my decision on. And I've decided on teeChart!

Thanks Stew
