Candles generation

Hydra allows you to generate candles based on downloaded trades, which can later be exported to Excel, xml, sql, bin, Json or txt formats (see below).

This allows you to subsequently use the data in any technical analysis programs (WealthLab, AmiBroker, etc.).

Candles generation

  1. On the Common tab, click the Candles button, the following window will open:hydra candles main

  2. Further it is necessary:

    • Select the required candle type from the drop-down list (all standard candles are supported)

    • oSelect the required Time Frame

      As an example, we have selected candles with a Time Frame of 5 min.

    • Select an security (in our case it is SBER@TQBR) and click on the hydra find button.

    After that, candles will be generated based on the data found. For example, for candles of TimeFrameCandle type the following will be generated: hydra candles tf

    If you need to build candles of a different type, for example VolumeCandle, you need to do the following:

    • Select the candle type. hydra candles volume 100
    • Select period, volume.
    • Set the security.
    • Select in Build From, for example Ticks. Click the hydra find button.hydra candles volume

    If the market data could not be received from the source, candles can be generated by selecting the data type from which they will be built in the Build From field.

    For example:

    • Candles with Time Frame 10 min from Ticks. hydra candles tf 10
    • You can build candles with a large Time Frame from candles with a smaller one by choosing in Build From to build Smaller Time Frame. For example, from candles with Time Frame 5 minutes candles with Time Frame 30 minuteshydra candles tf 01
    Tip

    If you select do not build in the Build From field, then ready-made candles that were downloaded from the source will be searched for.
