Hi, I am programming a Trading Program. The programm will be written in C++ and platformindependent. I use QT4 for GUI. Is there a open source project that can screen charts, indicators and can easily be used by own programs? For the moment I am more interested in programming functionality. But charting is necessary because you often can SEE programming mistakes on the chart. That's why I look for a charting tool. I haven't found such a tool on the internet. I googled, I searched SourceForge.net... Karl
I have not found any such library which is one of the reasons I'm using Java and jfreechart http://www.jfree.org To my knowledge this is this best free library for financial/stock charts. Porting portions of jfreechart to C++ would be feasible and almost certianly easier than starting from scratch though still a significant amount of work.
Can you show me an example code how a chart is created by a c++ program using jfreechart? Just to see how implementation will look like. Thanks, Karl
There are converters to port it automatically to C#. The big question then becomes: how easy to go from C# to C++? Maria
There used to be something maintained on Sourceforge a few years back. Can't remember the name. I think they were connecting to myTrack.
