Downloaded latest Licensing Wizard on my Mac M1 however I cannot run it to start my trial of SciChart.JS.

I’m looking at SciChart.JS for financial charting project in a .NET Blazor for analysis only.

As I’ve not been able to get SciChart installed or to try, is it possible to place annotations such as trend lines and boxes onto the chart by me clicking on the chart?

Also, how does indicators work? And can I add my own indicators? Will the algorithms for these indicators be written in JavaScript or can I do this in C# from Blazor?

I attach a screen shot of the problem running the Licensing Wizard.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi David

I believe our sales team answered you – but for sake of helping other users:

SciChart Licensing Wizard can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious sofrware. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information

The error you’re seeing is MacOS specific and relates to mac security policy. The workaround is simple, using Finder, navigate to Applications, locate SciChart Licensing Wizard. Right-click and select ‘open’ accepting security warnings. Further instructions here.

SciChart installed or to try, is it possible to place annotations such as trend lines and boxes onto the chart by me clicking on the chart?

We do have a simple sample of how to create annotations by clicking on the chart here. This is done via a custom modifier using our ChartModifierBase API.

Last week we had a request from a user who wanted an enhancement to this functionality, so we provided another code sample.

More to come in future (we’re aware this is a popular feature req but have other priorities right now)

Also, how does indicators work? And can I add my own indicators?

SciChart.js does not have technical indicators per-se but allows you to add series to the chart of any type with or without functions on the original dataseries. For example we have an API called filters API that lets you tag a moving average onto a candlestick series and everything auto-calculates. This could be extended with more functions but there will be some work to do on your side to include a full suite of technical indicators into the chart. We also have samples such as our realtime ticking stock charts demo which shows how to have a few technical indicators on the chart when there is real-time candlestick data.

In the future we plan to make a scitrader.js library which matches our lib for iOS & Android (see here for details) but not yet, as there are other priorities.

Will the algorithms for these indicators be written in JavaScript or can I do this in C# from Blazor?

See the above, but I will say that there is an OSS blazor library for scichart.js here. We would recommend doing any logic that manipulates the chart in javascript/typescript and wrapping the high level API to c# for blazor via JS interop.

Finally, are you aware that you can code SciChart or try things out in codepen, jsfiddle or codesandbox (which supports npm and more) without a time-limited trial? Check out this blog for more info.

Thank you for considering SciChart!

Best regards
Andrew
