Custom Technical Indicators ​

To create a custom technical indicator, you only need to generate a technical indicator information, and then add it globally through klinecharts.registerIndicator, add it to the chart and use it like the built-in technical indicator.

  }) => boolean
}

Step.1 ​

First determine the calculation parameters (calcParams) and configuration items (figures). The 'MA' technical indicator needs to display the line connecting the average closing price of the two periods, one is 'ma1' and the other is 'ma2'. So figures are configured as:

javascript
{
   // The calculation parameters are 2, one calculates the mean value of 5 cycle times, namely 'ma1', and the other calculates the mean value of 10 cycle times, namely 'ma10'
   calcParams: [5, 10],
   figures: [
     // first line 'ma5'
     { key: 'ma1', title: 'MA5: ', type: 'line' },
     // second line 'ma10'
     { key: 'ma2', title: 'MA10: ', type: 'line' }
   ]
}

Step.2 ​

Determine other attributes

javascript
{
   name: 'MA',
   shortName: 'MA',
   calcParams: [5, 10],
   figures: [
     { key: 'ma1', title: 'MA5: ', type: 'line' },
     { key: 'ma2', title: 'MA10: ', type: 'line' }
   ],
   // When the calculation parameters are changed, it is hoped that the prompt is the same as the parameters, that is, the value of title needs to be changed
   regenerateFigures: (params) => {
     return params. map((p, i) => {
       return { key: `ma${i + 1}`, title: `MA${p}: `, type: 'line' }
     })
   },
   // Calculation results
   calc: (kLineDataList, { calcParams, figures }) => {
     // Note: The number of returned data needs to be consistent with the number of data in kLineDataList. If there is no value, replace it with {}.
     // It is best to take the callback parameter calcParams as the calculation parameter. If not, when the subsequent calculation parameters change, the calculation here cannot respond in time
     const closeSums = []
     return kLineDataList. map((kLineData, i) => {
       const ma = {}
       const close = kLineData. close
       calcParams.forEach((param, j) => {
         closeSums[j] = (closeSums[j] || 0) + close
         if (i >= param - 1) {
           ma[figures[j].key] = closeSums[j] / param
           closeSums[j] -= kLineDataList[i - (param - 1)].close
         }
       })
       // If there is a value, the data format of each item here should be { ma1: xxx, ma2: xxx }
       // Each key needs to be consistent with the value corresponding to the subkey in figures
       return ma
     })
   }
}

So a custom indicator is completed.
