highlow (Financial Time Series Toolbox)

High-Low plot

Syntax

highlow(tsobj)
highlow(tsobj, color)
highlow(tsobj, color, dateform)
highlow(tsobj, color, dateform, ParameterName, ParameterValue, ...)
hhll = highlow(tsobj, color, dateform, ParameterName, 
ParameterValue, ...)

Arguments

tsobj
Financial time series object

color
(Optional) A three-element row vector representing RGB or a color identifier. (See plot in the MATLAB documentation.)

dateform
(Optional) Date string format used as the x-axis tick labels. (See datetick in the MATLAB documentation.) You can specify a dateform only when tsobj does not contain time-of-day data. If tsobj contains time-of-day data, dateform is retricted to 'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM'.

`tsobj`	Financial time series object
`color`	(Optional) A three-element row vector representing RGB or a color identifier. (See `plot` in the MATLAB documentation.)
`dateform`	(Optional) Date string format used as the x-axis tick labels. (See `datetick` in the MATLAB documentation.) You can specify a `dateform` only when `tsobj` does not contain time-of-day data. If `tsobj` contains time-of-day data, `dateform` is retricted to `'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM'`.

Description

highlow(tsobj) generates a High-Low plot of the data in the financial time series object tsobj. tsobj must contain at least four data series representing the high, low, open, and closing prices. These series must have the names High, Low, Open, and Close (case-insensitive).

highlow(tsobj, color) additionally specifies the color of the plot.

highlow(tsobj, color, dateform) additionally specifies the date string format used as the x-axis tick labels. See datestr in the Financial Toolbox documentation for a list of date string formats.

highlow(tsobj, color, dateform, ParameterName, ParameterValue,...) indicates the actual name(s) of the required data series if the data series do not have the default names. ParameterName can be

HighName: high prices series name
LowName: low prices series name
OpenName: open prices series name
CloseName: closing prices series name

hhll = highlow(tsobj, color, dateform, ParameterName, ParameterValue, ...) returns the handle to the line object that makes up the High-Low plot.

Examples

Generate a High-Low plot for Disney stock for the dates from May 28 to June 18, 1998:

load disney.mat
highlow(dis('28-May-1998::18-Jun-1998'))
title(`High-Low Plot for Disney')
