WPF OHLC Chart - Visualize Stock Data Easily

Overview

The WPF OHLC Chart is like a candle chart. The horizontal lines at the left and right are used to show opening and closing values of the stock, and the height of the vertical line represents high and low values. They are easily customizable and support interactive features such as trackball, tooltip, selection, and zooming to track information of the data.
