Chart supports the following financial series

Hilo

To render a Hilo series, use series type as Hilo and inject HiloSeries module into the services.

index.jsx

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, HiloSeries, Category, Tooltip, Zoom, Crosshair } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource';

function App() {
    const primaryxAxis = { valueType: 'Category', title: 'Months' };
    const primaryyAxis = { labelFormat: '{value}mm', edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift', title: 'Rainfall' };
    const style = { textAlign: "center" };
    const legendSettings = { visible: false };
    return <ChartComponent id='charts' style={style} primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis} primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis} legendSettings={legendSettings} title='Maximum and Minimum Rainfall'>
      <Inject services={[HiloSeries, Tooltip, Category, Crosshair, Zoom]}/>
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={chartData} xName='x' yName='low' name='India' type='Hilo' low='low' high='high'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));

index.tsx

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,LegendSettingsModel,
    HiloSeries, Category, Tooltip, ILoadedEventArgs, Zoom,
    Crosshair, ChartTheme }
from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { chartData } from './datasource';

function App() {
  const primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { valueType: 'Category', title: 'Months' };
  const primaryyAxis: AxisModel = { labelFormat: '{value}mm', edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift', title: 'Rainfall' };
  const style: any = { textAlign: "center" };
  const legendSettings: LegendSettingsModel = { visible: false };

  return <ChartComponent id='charts' style={style}
      primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis}
      primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis}
      legendSettings={legendSettings}
      title='Maximum and Minimum Rainfall'>
      <Inject services={[HiloSeries, Tooltip, Category, Crosshair, Zoom]} />
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={chartData} xName='x' yName='low' name='India' type='Hilo' low='low'
          high='high'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>

};
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));

High Low Open Close

To render a HiloOpenClose series, use series type as HiloOpenClose and inject HiloOpenCloseSeries module into the services.

index.jsx

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Category, Tooltip, Zoom, Crosshair, HiloOpenCloseSeries } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { Browser } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { chartData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const primaryxAxis = { title: 'Date', valueType: 'Category' };
    const primaryyAxis = { title: 'Price in Dollar', minimum: 100, maximum: 200, interval: 20 };
    const style = { textAlign: "center" };
    const legendSettings = { visible: false };
    const border = { border: { width: 0 } };
    return <ChartComponent id='charts' style={style} primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis} primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis} legendSettings={legendSettings} chartArea={border} width={Browser.isDevice ? '100%' : '80%'} title='Financial Analysis'>
      <Inject services={[HiloOpenCloseSeries, Tooltip, Category, Crosshair, Zoom]}/>
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={chartData} xName='x' yName='low' name='SHIRPUR-G' type='HiloOpenClose' low='low' high='high' open='open' close='close'>

function App() {

  const primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Date', valueType: 'Category' };
  const primaryyAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Price in Dollar', minimum: 100, maximum: 200, interval: 20 };
  const style: any = { textAlign: "center" };
  const legendSettings: LegendSettingsModel = { visible: false };
  const border = { border: { width: 0 } };

  return <ChartComponent id='charts' style={style}

      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={chartData} xName='x' yName='low' name='SHIRPUR-G' type='HiloOpenClose' low='low'
          high='high' open='open' close='close'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>

};
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));

Customization of HiloOpenClose Series

In HiloOpenClose series, bullFillColor is used to fill the segment when the open value is greater than the close value and bearFillColor is used to fill the segment when the open value is less than the close value.

index.jsx

    const primaryyAxis = { title: 'Price in Dollar', minimum: 100, maximum: 200, interval: 20 };
    const style = { textAlign: "center" };
    const legendSettings = { visible: false };
    return <ChartComponent id='charts' style={style} primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis} primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis} legendSettings={legendSettings} title='Financial Analysis'>
      <Inject services={[HiloOpenCloseSeries, Tooltip, Category, Crosshair, Zoom]}/>
      <SeriesCollectionDirective>
        <SeriesDirective dataSource={chartData} xName='x' yName='low' name='SHIRPUR-G' type='HiloOpenClose' low='low' high='high' open='open' close='close' bearFillColor='#e56590' bullFillColor='#f8b883'>
        </SeriesDirective>
      </SeriesCollectionDirective>
    </ChartComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));

index.tsx

import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AxisModel, ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject,LegendSettingsModel,

import { chartData } from './datasource';

function App() {
  const primaryxAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Date', valueType: 'Category' };
  const primaryyAxis: AxisModel = { title: 'Price in Dollar', minimum: 100, maximum: 200, interval: 20 };
  const style: any = { textAlign: "center" };
  const legendSettings: LegendSettingsModel = { visible: false };

  return <ChartComponent id='charts' style={style}
      primaryXAxis={primaryxAxis}
      primaryYAxis={primaryyAxis}
      legendSettings={legendSettings}
      title='Financial Analysis'>
      <Inject services={[HiloOpenCloseSeries, Tooltip, Category, Crosshair, Zoom]} />

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("charts"));

Hollow Candles

Candle charts allow to visually compare the current price with previous price by coloring them.

Candles are filled/left as hollow based on the following criteria.

States	Description
Filled	candle sticks are filled when the close value is lesser than the open value
Unfilled	candle sticks are unfilled when the close value is greater than the open value

The color of the candle will be defined by comparing with previous values. Bear color will be applied when the current closing value is greater than the previous closing value. Bull color will be applied when the current closing value is less than the previous closing value.

By default, bullFillColor is set as red and bearFillColor is set as green.

Solid Candles

enableSolidCandles is used to enable/disable the solid candles. By default is set to be false. The fill color of the candle will be defined by its opening and closing values.

bearFillColor will be applied when the opening value is less than the closing value.
bullFillColor will be applied when the opening value is greater than closing value.
