This issue tracks short term goals to improve financial charting resulting from a discussion today with @quantfreedom and @VladislavPustovarov

• Progress will be evaluated using the Sandbox.WinFormsFinance project

• This work extends Finance: Improve support for nonlinear a DateTime axis #4385

Task 1: Scott

• Improve cursor tracking (show labels, snap to bars, etc.)
• Improve performance for very large numbers of bars (50,000)
• Simplify the process of automatic vertical scaling. Use strategy pattern to allow multiple scaling strategies including custom ones injected by the user. It is already a function that can be created by the user and assigned to the ContinuousAutoscaleAction action so creating additional classes is not required.
• Add something like "GetOhlcNearest(x)" to simplify mouse snapping
• Improve tick behavior when windows are resized. Mimic TradingView.com where ticks "slide" off the screen to the left but do not change in density as the window is resized

Task 2: Vlad

• Add more views by creating classes in the TickGenerators/Financial namespace (suggested views are listed below)
• Improve the logic used to decide which view is best given the figure size and axis limits

YearOnly - Year
YearAndJuly - Year, July
YearAnd2Months - Year, May, Sep
YearAnd3Months - Year, Apr, Jul, Oct
YearAnd4Months - Year, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov
Months - Year, then each month
MonthAndThirdMonday - months are short names, days are the number
MonthAndEveryMonday - months are short names, days are the number
MonthAndEveryOtherDay - months are short names, days are the number
MonthAndEveryDay - months are short names, days are the number
DayAndEvery12Hours - show the day number for midnight, then show 6, 12, 18
DayAndEvery4Hours
DayAndEvery3Hours
EveryHour
EveryHalfHour
Every15Minutes
Every5Minutes
EveryMinute
Seconds45
Seconds30
Seconds15
Seconds10
Seconds5
Seconds1

Task 3: Scott

This work will be performed after Vlad finishes the date work above

• Add lower limit to ensure ticks don't get smaller than candles
• Add volume bars to the demo
• Add additional "subplots" showing technical indicators to the demo
• Refine pan/zoom so candles aren't cut in half horizontally
• Improve support for charts that have candles of different widths
• Add grid feature as shown in this comment
