Chart

The Chart object is an experimental object used to create custom charts. It is currently used by the Walk Forward block to create a Stitched Equity Curve of the OOS tests.

Here is the example with explanation:

fileLocation = test.resultsReportPath + "\stitchedEquity.gif"

chart.newXY( "Stitched Equity Curve", 1000, 700 )

chart.xAxis( 1, lastStitchedEquityIndex )

chart.addline( "stitchedEquity", lastStitchedEquityIndex )

chart.make( fileLocation )

IF showStitched THEN

 OpenFile( fileLocation )

ENDIF

newXY( title, xSize, ySize ) -- Creates an XY chart with a title and size.

xAxis( xLegend, size ) -- Sets the legend for the x axis, such as a bpv series of numbers, or a test array of strings. In this case the test string array 1 is used to set the dates on the x axis.

addLine( SeriesName, size ) -- Adds a line to the chart. The first parameter is the bpv series to use to create the line.

make( fileLocation) -- Makes the chart at the file location. Can be .gif or .jpg.
