Plot Create

Creates a plot visualization from financial data.

Common Properties

• Name - The custom name of the node.
• Color - The custom color of the node.
• Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
• Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
• Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.

info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Inputs

• Data Path - The file path to the input data in CSV format.
• Date Key - The column name to be used as the date (default: "date").
• X Axis Title - The title for the X axis (default: "Date").
• Y Axis Title - The title for the Y axis (default: "Parity").
• Name - The name for the plot.

Output

• Plot ID - The unique identifier for the created plot.

How It Works

The Plot Create node generates a plot visualization from financial data. When executed, the node:

1. Reads the input data from the specified Data Path
2. Uses the Date Key column as the x-axis values
3. Creates a candlestick chart using the open, high, low, and close values
4. Sets the axis titles based on the provided inputs
5. Adds the plot to the internal plot storage and returns a Plot ID

Requirements

• A CSV file with financial data at the specified Data Path
• Valid column names in the CSV file (date, open, high, low, close)
• Write permissions for the specified Data Path

Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

• Empty or invalid Data Path
• Issues reading CSV files
• Missing required columns in the data (open, high, low, close)

Usage Notes

• The plot is created using Plotly for interactive visualizations
• The Plot ID can be used with other plot nodes to modify or display the plot
• For best results, ensure your input data is properly formatted with consistent intervals
