The Xamarin.Forms candle chart visualizes financial data and shows the trends at equal intervals. It can be often combined with line and column charts to show the close and volume of the data.
Configure the hollow or filled type in candle chart to view stock data from a different perspective.
Supports zooming and scrolling when dealing with large amount of data to visualize the data point in any region.
Supports analyzing historical data and predicting future price movements.
Customizable bull and bear colors.
