highlow (fts) - Time series 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 restricted to `'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM'`.
`ParameterName`	`ParameterName` can be: `HighName`: high prices series name `LowName`: low prices series name `OpenName`: open prices series name `CloseName`: closing prices series name
`ParameterValue`	The parameter value is a string that represents the valid parameter name.

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 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.

You can specify open prices as optional by providing the parameter name 'OpenName' and the parameter value '' (empty string).

highlow(tsobj, color, dateform, 'OpenName', '')

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')
