x-axis markingszoomability(scale time period)horizontal mouse drag to change the time period (also with left/right arrow keys)dynamic change in axes pending- detect marubozus, dojis, and other typical single as well as multi-candle patterns.
- draw MACD, get VWAP
- indicate volume
- show help commands upon pressing h
- refactor hardcoded dimensions
- ability to draw custom lines/ curves
- keyboard shortcut to reset all the changed plot behaviours
- convert to renko charts
- identify x coordinate marking format and convert into other compact notations
- specify the csv file as a terminal command
figure out the title of the graph from the file name. Override if custom name specified as command line argument.- save user preferences in a local file and load that at startup.
- remove all the pixel scaling for candlesticks and replace it with sf::View functions : which makes it easy to implement zooming and scrolling, an resizing windows.
- implement box zoom functionality
