A technical indicator is a set of derived data that is calculated by applying one or more formulas to the original set of data. Technical indicators are generally used to forecast the asset's market direction and generally plotted separately from the original data since the Y-axis scales differ.
UWP Edition supports technical indicators for its FinancialChart control to be easily used in financial applications. These financial indicators are plotted as chart patterns and form a basis for technical analysis.
