Chart widget

The Chart widget visualizes time series data, with a litany of additional visual features to enrich the data displayed and make it easier to absorb, comprehend, and drive decisions from.

It can be driven manually via the API or CLI, however the Chart widget is most commonly used in conjunction with backend AWTS modules; e.g. to plot technical analysis, to review trading strategy performance and a variety of other things.

For 'standard' graphing needs, consider the Graph widget instead; its API is simpler for basic visualizations.

Extra functionality provided by the Chart widget:

  • candlestick plots
  • data series overlay - e.g. for moving averages
  • events overlay - e.g. to visually represent points or periods in time (e.g. to mark economic announcements or premarket periods)
  • lines - e.g. to show linear regression outputs, trendlines or algolines, with clear start and end points
  • levels - horizontal lines with a clear start and end point, e.g. for daily volume levels
  • multiple Y-scales - automatically show multiple series in linked-but-separate visualizations, e.g. to show volume or RSI in a panel below price movement
  • transformations - don't do it manually, have the chart widget normalize values, produce relative-change data or log scales
  • POIs - arbitrary points of interest, e.g. to visualize trade entries/exits
