Stock Chart supports 6 types of trendlines namely Linear,Exponential,Logarithmic,Polynomial,Power,Moving Average. By using trendline dropdown button you can add or remove the required trendline type.

Linear

A linear trendline is a best fit straight line that is used with simpler data sets.To render a linear trendline, use trendline type as Linear.

Exponential

An exponential trendline is a curved line that is most useful when data values rise or fall at increasingly higher rates. You cannot create an exponential trendline, if your data contains zero or negative values.

To render a exponential trendline, use trendline type as Exponential.

Logarithmic

A logarithmic trendline is a best-fit curved line that is most useful when the rate of change in the data increases or decreases quickly and then levels out. A logarithmic trendline can use negative and/or positive values.

To render a logarithmic trendline, use trendline type as Logarithmic.

Polynomial

A polynomial trendline is a curved line that is used when data fluctuates.

To render a polynomial trendline, use trendline type as Polynomial. polynomialOrder used to define the polynomial value.

Power

A power trendline is a curved line that is best used with data sets that compare measurements that increase at a specific rate.

To render a power trendline, use trendline type as Power.

Moving Average

A moving average trendline smoothen out fluctuations in data to show a pattern or trend more clearly.
