Stock Indicators for .NET demo

This is a demo of the Skender.Stock.Indicators NuGet package. It is an Angular website with a Chart.js financial/candlestick stock chart, with a .NET Web API backend to generate indicators. The indicator library can be implemented in any .NET compatible ecosystem (it does not have to be in an API like this). See the library documentation for more examples, the user guide, and a full list of available indicators.

Author's note

This repo and charting tool is primarily intended to demonstrate the Stock Indicators for .NET library. It is not meant to be a fully featured charting system and may not be an architectural model that works for your use case. If you need a mature charting tool, please explore all of your charting and visualization options.

Running this demo locally

If you want to host on your local computer and review the source code, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

• Git and Node.js
• Visual Studio

Steps

1. Clone the repo

2. Open \server\ChartBackend.sln in Visual Studio. Take note of the URL in the WebApi project properties.

   

3. Select WebApi project and run by either CTRL+F5 or dotnet run CLI command. You can also View from right-click menus. If you've done this successfully, a browser window will open and say "API is functioning nominally." Leave the browser window open.

4. Open client\src\environments\environment.ts and modify the API URL, if needed, then save file.

   export const env: EnvConfig = {
     production: false,
     api: 'https://localhost:44392'
   };

5. Open Git Bash window and navigate to the \client folder

   npm install
   npm start

   The web application should launch automatically.

Fetching quote data

Optionally, if you intend to use the local Azure storage emulator to get and store local quote data from the Alpaca API, you'll also need to set some local environment variables and run the ‘Functions.csproj‘ project. Use your own key and secret values.

setx ALPACA_KEY "YOUR ALPACA API KEY"
setx ALPACA_SECRET "YOUR ALPACA SECRET KEY"
setx AzureWebJobsStorage "UseDevelopmentStorage=true"
