Bull/Bear Fill Color - issue

[Michal Staszewski]

Hello, I was working with my candle charts and noticed that they have a problem with filling the bear candles properly. Here You can see two images - the left one is a candle chart from a data provider. As You can see - there are many bear candles. The right one is the one that my app throws. And only one of the candles received a bear fill color - what's more - it was a bull candle...this is the code in xaml behind the chart that sets the properties:                            The static palette color is specified in hex. Any ideas why it happens this way?Regards, Michał

ok, when editing the thread it somehow lost the graphics & code. Here it goes again:

Hello, 

I was working with my candle charts and noticed that they have a problem with filling the bear candles properly. Here You can see two images - the left one is a candle chart from a data provider. As You can see - there are many bear candles. The right one is the one that my app throws. And only one of the candles received a bear fill color - what's more - it was a bull candle...

this is the code in xaml behind the chart that sets the properties:

                            <chart:CandleSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Quotes}"
                                                XBindingPath="date"
                                                Open="open"
                                                High="high"
                                                Low="low"
                                                Close="close"
                                                BullFillColor="White"
                                                BearFillColor="{x:Static statics:Palette.V_001}"
                                                StrokeColor="{x:Static statics:Palette.V_001}"
                                                StrokeWidth="1"/>

The static palette color is specified in hex. Any ideas why it happens this way?

Hi Michal,

In SfChart,

Fill/Hollow Candles: When current close is greater than current open, then the candle will be filled. Otherwise it will be hollow.

Color of the Fill/Hollow Candles: When the current close is greater than the previous close, then BullFillColor will apply. Otherwise BearFillColor.

If you want all your candles to be filled, then you can set EnableSolidCandles property of CandleSeries to true. In this case, BullFillColor will apply when the current close is greater than the current open.

Could you please check whether the CandleSeries rendered depends on the above cases for the required data.

Please let us know if you have any queries.

Saravana Pandian M.

EnableSolidCandles did the trick.

Thanks a lot.

Still I'm not sure what could possibly be a good business use of candle chart with SolidCandles disabled ;)

Did You mean to answer that in my other thread?

Hi Michal,

You can refer the below link for the behavior of the Candle sticks.

Link: https://stockcharts.com/articles/mailbag/2014/05/whats-the-difference-between-solid-and-filled-candlesticks.html

In our previous update, we have wrongly updated that behavior of Fill/Hollow Candles. The right behaviour is when current close is greater than current open, then the candle will be hollow. Otherwise it will be filled.

Please let us know if your query is different or you need more information on this.

My query was completely satisfied with Enable Solid Candles :)

although I don't like the way android emulator (bottom chart) displays your candle charts... I hope that this is just a fault of emulator & on actual devices they'll look as good as on iOS (top one)?

Hi Michal,

Thanks for the update.

Yes. It will work fine in actual devices without any issues. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
