Introduction

The following toolbox financial charting functions plot financial data and produce presentation-quality figures quickly and easily.

These functions work with standard MATLAB^®functions that draw axes, control appearance, and add labels and titles. The toolbox also provides a comprehensive set of charting functions that work withtimetableobjects, seeChart Technical Indicators.

Here is aBollinger bandchart. This example loads data from an external file (ibm.dat) and then calls the function using subsets of the data. The MATLAB variableibm, which is created by loadingibm.dat, is a six-column matrix where each row is a trading day's data and where columns 2, 3, and 4 contain the high, low, and closing prices, respectively. The data inibm.datis fictional and for illustrative use only.
