Java implementation of stochastic indicator for finance

Question

Hy,

I'm searching for an API/library offering an implementation of the financial stochastic technical analysis.

Does someone know a ready-do-use solution?

Thanks,

Not sure exactly what you're asking for, but maybe you can use QuantLib to assemble it: http://www.quantlib.org

Answer 2

If you are looking for an open-source library for calculating technical indicators, give TA-Lib a go. Source code is available for .Net, Java and C/C++. The open-source version hasn't been updated since September 2007 though, and there is a paid for Excel version as well.

If you are working in a .Net environment and just want chart rendering, I think the MSChart control (purchased from Dundas by Microsoft) supports a small set of TA indicators.

If you want to implement the indicators yourself, the 'bible' the documents them is Technical Analysis from A to Z, 2nd Edition (affiliate link).
