This example demonstrate creating a full-featured finance chart, with HLOC, moving averages, Bollinger band, volume bars, RSI and Momentum indicators.
This example employs the
FinanceChart library add-on to allow complex financial charts to be composed easily. In this example, the key steps are:
For simplicity and to allow this example to run without connecting to a real database, a
RanTable object is used to simulate the data.
RanTable is a ChartDirector utility class used for creating tables with random numbers.

# To compute moving averages starting from the first day, we need to get extra data points before
# the first day
$extraDays = 30;
# In this exammple, we use a random number generator utility to simulate the data. We set up the
# random table to create 6 cols x (noOfDays + extraDays) rows, using 9 as the seed.

# Set the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th columns to be high, low, open and close data. The open value starts
# from 100, and the daily change is random from -5 to 5.

# Append a 14-days RSI indicator chart (75 pixels high) after the main chart. The main RSI line is
# purple (800080). Set threshold region to +/- 20 (that is, RSI = 50 +/- 25). The upper/lower
# threshold regions will be filled with red (ff0000)/blue (0000ff).
