.Net Charting Control

Hi, I'm building my own back-testing application in .NET (C#).

I need the facility to display market prices (and equity curves, etc) so that I can eyeball entries and exits, etc.

There are numerous .NET charting components on the market, and many of them have the facility to display financial data (bars, candlesticks, etc). I was wondering if anybody out there had actually used any of these components and could recommend them or not?

I particularly want the ability to display market prices with my own additional arrows and lines to define entry/exit points and stop-loss levels, etc. I realise that this feature request may be a bit of a tall order, but maybe somebody out there has done something similar?

Cheers

Arold,

you could try:

StockChartX from ModulusFe.
It's actually an ActiveX control but you can use it in .net. It looks
like it has alot of drawing and ta functionality.

Steema's TeeCharts is a native .net control written in csharp.

hth,
Tom

 

one of the best charting controls is teeCharts, and is available for Java, .NET, ActiveX, COM, Borland VCL/CLX controls

Steema. Been using since v4. Good stuff. Good support. Online NG too!

Roll your own one with GDI+ It's not that hard. Or if you want to reflect it from here http://competo.com/charting

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've had very similar feedback on another group so it looks like Teechart is the way to go!

Thanks again
Arold

 

I have used the Modulus chart control but was not very impressed. It needed a lot of additional code just to get it to do basic charting and the active-x interface is very slow and CPU hungry.

Have not used the Steema component but it is probably better a better solution.

Still think there is a gap in the market for a really good .net charting control that is just dedicated to trading charts.
