Programming My Own Trading Chart

Am I mad?

I started programming my own trading chart from scratch.

Why you might ask, and why I asked myself.

I did not want to be locked into a chart that has restrictions (licensing) on it's usage (Trading View) and neither locked into a Javascript framework (TradngVue TVJS)

There is another alternative, (KLineChart), which is well written and fast, but it lacked a few features that the other two have. So the question was, do I learn some one else's code base, as I did with TVJS and figure out how to modify it to my own needs, or do I write something from scratch.

Which will take longer?

Writing my own of course, but should I succeed, I'll have a chart that does everything I need and want. If I fail, well, I guess I can use KLine. KLine does appear to be popular on GitHub, but other than the main developer, all of the other contributors have only made minor submissions to the code base. It is therefore still a one man project.

Unlike TVJS, it does not have an online community where you can reach out for help or show case what you've done. The TVJS has been very good to bounce ideas off.

This is very early days yet. The chart has no interactivity yet. So far I've focused on the foundations to make it extensible and flexible so that you can get the chart to do anything you want.

This last point was a major wish amongst the TVJS community. While you can get TVJS to draw anything, there is a great deal of complicated work to make that happen. I hope to simplify and streamline the chart manipulation so that it is easy for people to display their own custom data visualizations with the price data.

Wish me success.

5 years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://peakd.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Thanks! 😀
But something new can end up being a very deep rabbit hole, and that's what I'm adverse to.
