Is it possible to have multiple candlestick series on the same axis and have them grouped next to each other like columns? Right now,they render on top of each other if their y values are similar. I have tried the series options related to this( point padding, grouping ) and they do not work.
Yes, you can add the option "dataGrouping" to the series this way:
serie = {
type: 'candlestick',
name: 'test',
data: seriesdata,
dataGrouping: {
enabled: true
}
}
