We encourage you to use Highstock 6+ as it has a vast range of technical analysis indicators build in. This plugin was build for older versions of Highstock

Indicators - Highstock module

Indicators available in this plugin: SMA, EMA, ATR, RSI. You can use these indicators for free.

We also have other indicators available: Bollinger Bands, MACD, Momentum, CCI, Stochastic, Rate of Change (ROC), Accumulation / distribution (AD), Pivot Points, ZigZag, Weighted Moving Average (WMA), PSAR, MFI, Price Envelopes.
If you're are interested in purchasing them, developing new indicators or any other tools, please contact us at: start@blacklabel.pl

Requirements

Version 2.0+ requires the latest Highstock (v2.1.5+)
Version 1.1 requires Highstock v2.1.5
Version <1.1 supported since Highstock v1.3.9 to Highstock v2.1.4

Versions

2.x - Improved logic for calculations and performance. Values are based on initial points, not grouped. When points are grouped by dataGrouping then indicators values are grouped too.
1.x - Initial version of Indicators.js. Calculations are based on grouped points (aka dataGrouping)

Installation

Like any other Highcharts module (e.g. exporting), add <script> tag pointing to indicators.js below Highcharts script tag. Then attach all required indicators (like ema.js, rsi.js).
For NPM users:

var Highcharts = require('highcharts/highstock');
    require('indicators')(Highcharts);
    require('sma')(Highcharts);
    require('ema')(Highcharts);
    require('rsi')(Highcharts);
    require('atr')(Highcharts);

For BOWER users:

bower install highcharts-indicators
