Chart Indicator
You create visual checks. Charts do not replace validation or audit.
Current Tool Signature
oxq.tools.chart.chart_indicator plots indicator columns from a stored
RunResult in the tool session:
from oxq.tools.chart import chart_indicator
result = chart_indicator(
run_id="run_1",
symbol="SPY",
columns=["sma_fast", "sma_slow"],
overlay=True,
)
print(result)
It does not accept raw data=..., indicators=..., or output=...
arguments. If you need a chart from raw bars, either run the strategy through
the tool/session flow first or write a one-off exploratory script and label it
as non-standard.
Dependency
Install chart dependencies before rendering:
uv sync --extra chart
If using pip:
python -m pip install -e ".[chart]"
What To Check
- requested columns exist in the run's symbol data
- NaN warmup regions are expected
- indicator scale matches overlay choice
- signal events line up with intended dates
- chart output path exists
Red Lines
- Do not use charts as proof of profitability.
- Do not hide missing indicator columns by plotting a different column.
- Do not infer causality from visual overlap alone.
