Components / Charts / StockChart

StockChart Overview

The StockChart is a specialized control for visualizing the price movement of a financial instrument over a certain period of time.

Stockcharts include extensive touch support and a navigator pane for easy browsing of extended time periods. Generally, the StockChart extends the Kendo UI Chart component and shares most of its features.

Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates the StockChart in action.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { StockDataService } from './stock-data.service';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
        <kendo-stockchart>
            <kendo-chart-title text="The Boeing Company\nNYSE:BA">
            </kendo-chart-title>
            <kendo-chart-series>
                <kendo-chart-series-item
                    type="candlestick"
                    [data]="data"
                    openField="Open"
                    closeField="Close"
                    lowField="Low"
                    highField="High"
                    categoryField="Date">
                </kendo-chart-series-item>
            </kendo-chart-series>
            <kendo-chart-navigator>
             <kendo-chart-navigator-select [from]="from" [to]="to">
             </kendo-chart-navigator-select>
              <kendo-chart-navigator-series>
                <kendo-chart-navigator-series-item type="area" [data]="data" field="Close" categoryField="Date">
                </kendo-chart-navigator-series-item>
             </kendo-chart-navigator-series>
            </kendo-chart-navigator>
        </kendo-stockchart>
    `
