How to build a Data Point Tracker for financialPriceSeries?
posted

Hi,

in the xamFeatureBrowser there is a nice Sample for a "Data Point Tracker". The Data Point Tracker roots on the "Marker" of the LineSeries-Items. Unfortunately, the FinancialPriceSeries doesn't have such "Marker". How can we build the same thing on the FinancialPriceSeries?

Thanks in advance,

Jerome

    Hello Jermone

    As you noted Financial Series do not support markers basically because it’s unclear where to place them. If you decide at which part of the candlestick the marker should appear, what you could do is plot that value (Open, Typical Price, etc.) in a separate line series, but set the Brush of the series to transparent, but with a solid marker brush, and then apply the code from the bottom sample. When creating the line series, make sure that the line series is in front of the financial price series so that data point tracker is always active and not hidden by candlesticks of financial series.
