Why Use StockChartX?
Modulus Financial Engineering, Inc. is a financial software consulting
firm. Years ago we could not find a financial charting component robust
enough to meet the requirements of our clients. It seemed as though
literally all charting components out there were developed by... well,
charting component companies. The reality is that charting component
developers seem to know very little if anything about real world trading.
The financial charting components produced by these companies are bundled
with standard and scientific charting components; those doughnut charts, pie charts, fancy
3D surface charts and reporting charts that you may be familiar with. The
majority of charting products out there produce stock charts with very little usability because the financial
charting interface was an afterthought. So in 1998 we decided to build our own
financial charting component to meet our needs. Now
several years later, StockChartX is a very well refined stock charting
component that we use every day. Thousands of developers, individual
traders, hedge fund managers and CTAs also use our products on a daily basis.

Web Charting Server
An example C# web charting server project
is bundled with StockChartX. This C# server exposes StockChartX to PHP, ASP and ASP.NET by means of a COM wrapper to
quickly deliver static GIF or PNG chart images in near real-time for web
server applications. A typical chart takes only 1/20th of a second from web
server request to finish. The C# example project is actually quite small and simple, consisting of only two small
classes! Also check out our new interactive FlashStockChart
charting component for Adboe Flash!
StockChartX can compile in VC++ .NET 2008 64-bit mode to target AMD64 or
Itanium processors running Windows 64 bit Server!
Experience up to a 50% performance increase in your server-side charting
applications!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I insert data into
StockChartX? Is it difficult?
A. StockChartX uses a function named AppendValue (series name, date,
value). You actually "push" data into StockChartX, so it does not
matter where the data is coming from, be it a database, text file, XML file,
or real time tick-by-tick data - it all goes into StockChartX the same way,
simple, quick, and easy!
Q. What do I have to do to add an
indicator to StockChartX?
A. Just call the AddIndicatorSeries (Indicator Type, Key, UserParams)
function. If UserParams is TRUE, the indicator dialog box will appear and
the user will be allowed to edit the indicator parameters. If UserParams is
FALSE, you will be able to set the parameters programmatically in your code.
Q.
HELP! I'm not a programmer but I would like to use StockChartX. How can I
use it?
A. StockChartX comes with a very nice Microsoft Excel example
project. All you have to do is install StockChartX using the StockChartX
installation wizard and open the workbook! All the functions are
pre-programmed for you in an easy-to-use menu
system.
Q.
How many panels (stocks, indicators, etc.) can I have open at once and
tiled on top of each other?
A. Unlike all other Stock Chart Components out there, you are not
limited here. You can have many indicators, symbols, and other series open
all on one chart at once. You are only limited by your screen's real estate.
Q.
Can I select symbols, text objects, and series with my mouse and move them?
A. Yes, of course! Unlike any other Financial Chart Control,
StockChartX allows you to grab any series or object, move it around with
your mouse, resize it, drag it to another panel, scroll the chart
using the mouse wheel, resize panels with the mouse, overlay series, and
much more. StockChartX is truly "object oriented" from the
end-user's perspective.
Q. Can I retrieve technical indicator
values from StockChartX like I can with TA-SDK? And without showing the
technical indicators on the chart?
A. Yes, you can calculate technical indicators and retrieve the
values without ever displaying the indicator in your trading application.
Q. Can I
add my own custom series (like my own indicators) to the chart?
A. Yes, StockChartX is designed to allow you to add any type of
series to the chart. You can display your series in one of many series
styles (bar, line, oscillator, etc.).
Q. Can I change an individual
bar's color?
A. Yes!
Q. What is the file size of StockChartX and does it
require any run time files?
A. StockChartX is only 400kb and compiled in VC++. StockChartX.ocx is
the only file you need to redistribute with your trading application and no run time files are
required.
Q. Does StockChartX work on older operating
systems such as Windows 98 and Windows ME?
A. Yes, StockChartX runs on all Windows operating systems that are
newer than Windows 3.1, and is designed to take advantage of newer operating
system graphic APIs when available.
Q. I have a PHP server, will
StockChartX work with my web site as a server side candle chart component?
A. Yes, however since StockChartX is a COM object it requires the
Windows version of PHP, which supports COM objects. You can also use
StockChartX with either ASP or ASP.NET
