| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ReductionStockOptions | A ReductionStockOptions object that contains the price reduction indication settings. |
Remarks
The ReductionOptions property provides access to the settings that define how a price reduction is indicated within a series of the stock and candle stick types. The settings which are available via the ReductionOptions property allow you to define a particular price value (open, close, high or low) which the analysis of the price action is performed by, specify a color to indicate the price reduction and control whether price reductions are indicated within a series.
Example
This example creates a ChartControl with a series of the CandleStickSeriesView type and adds this chart to a form at runtime. Before you proceed with this example, create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio and include all necessary assemblies in the References list of your project.
