I'm trying to build a stock analysis application and it uses 3 kinds of charts

  • Area Charts
  • Candlestick Charts
  • Combination Charts

Currently i am doing this by using JQuery & Google charts and as u can see below its pretty awesome:

Charts

But now , i was annotations on these charts . I've put up another question here on StackOverflow asking if something can be annotated on Google charts .

But here , i'm asking if there are any other charts that i can use which supports these 3 types of charts AND allows me to annotate (draw shapes at positions) on them.

please help :( I have to deliver this in a week !

I would really recommend HighCharts. They are free for open source project bur requires a license if you use it in a commercial project. They even have a library dedicated to stocking charts, called HighStock.

If you want a free library, my recommendation is Flot. However, it does not come with as many different chart types as HighCharts.
