Candlestick Chart

What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?

The customer wants to visualize financial price data effectively, using a candlestick chart commonly employed in financial analysis. This chart type is critical for analyzing trends, tracking price movements, and making data-driven decisions in financial contexts.

How are they solving it currently?

Currently, the customer is unable to create candlestick charts within Preset/Superset as there is no native support for this chart type. They may be using external tools or platforms to generate candlestick charts, resulting in inefficient workflows and disconnected data visualization processes.

What is the recommended solution by the Customer?

The customer recommends adding a candlestick chart type to Preset. This chart should support:

1. Four metrics per plot: Open, Close, High, Low.

2. Color-coded bars: The color of the candlestick should depend on whether the Close value is higher or lower than the previous plot's Close.
