I have a question regarding chartSeries
and the addTA
/ points.default
functions in R
. I am trying to add an extra chart below the chartSeries
-plot with points in different colours (colouring is taken from a function and working with points.default
), but unfortunately I'm unable to add these points with addTA
. I am able to add a line to the existing charts (both not what i am looking for). The points.default
function simply add those points into the chartSeries, which is not what i am looking for. I am looking for a simple straight line of points i can coloring differently with my color_fct
and which is added below my chartSeries
. I appreciate any help and thank you in advance!
Example Code:
getSymbols("YHOO")
data <- YHOO
chartSeries(data, type = c("auto", "candlesticks", "matchsticks","bars","line"))
hero<-rep(1,length(data$Close))
c(data, xts(hero))
#addTA provides me with a straight line and the coloring fct is not working
plot(addTA(data$hero,pch = 15,cex = 1.5, on = 2, col = color_fct))
#points.default provides me with perfect coloring, but the points are plotted in the middle of the chart
help<- rep(1, length(data$Close))
points.default(x=(1:length(data$High)),y=help+1, col= color_fct,pch = 15,cex = 1.5)
If you are open to using the newer chart_Series
instead of chartSeries
:
x_ti <- xts(rnorm(NROW(data)), order.by = index(data))
x_ti2 <- xts(rep(1, NROW(data)), order.by = index(data))
x_ti2[1, ] <- 0.5 # work around to get an xts object with all the same values (of 1) to plot if points are not visible on the subplot
chart_Series(data["2017"])
add_TA(x_ti, col = "purple", pch = 15, type = 'p', cex = .7)
# plot straight line in subplot:
add_TA(x_ti2, col = "orange", pch = 9, type = 'p', cex = .7)
