FibonacciIndicator.Kind Property

Gets or sets the value determining the kind of the Fibonacci Indicator.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Behavior)]
public FibonacciIndicatorKind Kind { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
FibonacciIndicatorKind

A FibonacciIndicatorKind enumeration value which represents the kind of indicator.

Available values:

Name Description
FibonacciArcs

Identifies the Arcs kind of the Fibonacci Indicators.

FibonacciFans

Identifies the Fans kind of the Fibonacci Indicators.

FibonacciRetracement

Identifies the Retracement kind of the Fibonacci Indicators.

Remarks

There are several distinct kinds of Fibonacci Indicators (represented by the FibonacciIndicator class), which are determined by the FibonacciIndicatorKind property, each having its own set of properties.

For more information, refer to the Fibonacci Indicators.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a Fibonacci Indicator of a certain kind (Arcs, Fans or Retracements), and add it to a financial series.

To do this, create an instance of the FibonacciIndicator class, and specify its FibonacciIndicator.Kind property. Then, add this indicator to the series collection of indicators, returned by the XYDiagram2DSeriesViewBase.Indicators property.
