Please add Ichimoku Kinko Hyo charting to the list of features for finance module. There is a wiki for this:

Hi oscillator,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. We will add this to our feature list to be considered in the future versions of ChartDirector.

Currently, if you want to add "Ichimoku Kinko Hyo" indicators to FinanceChart, you can do so by adding them as custom indicators. Your own code would need to compute the values of the indicators. You can then ask ChartDirector to include them in the FinanceChart by using FinanceChart.addLineIndicator2.

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Hi Peter,

How to get the color in between the lines ? I think this is some thing similar done for bollinger bands. It would be great if you can give some hint on which API to use to achieve this.

Hi SK,

You may use XYChart.addInterLineLayer to fill the region between two lines. Two fill colors can be used based on which line is on top.

If you are using the FinanceChart, when you add the two lines, the ChartDirector API should return a LineLayer object. You may then use (in VB/VBScript):

Call myMainPriceChart.addInterLineLayer(lineLayer1.getLine(), lineLayer2.getLine(), fillColor1, fillColor2)

Hope this can help.
