📈 Stock Market Analysis Tool (C# Windows Forms)

A feature-rich Windows Forms application developed in C# for stock market visualization, pattern recognition, and predictive analytics using candlestick charts and Fibonacci wave analysis.

This project was developed in three progressive stages:

• 📦 Project 1: Data loading, candlestick/volume chart, DataGridView.
• 🔍 Project 2: Multi-stock analysis, candlestick pattern detection (Peak/Valley, Doji, Hammer, etc.).
• 🌊 Project 3: Fibonacci wave analysis, Beauty function, prediction modeling.

🧠 Features

✅ Core Features (Project 1)

• Load CSV-based stock data (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) from Yahoo Finance.
• Visualize OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices in candlestick format.
• Display volume data alongside price in column chart.
• Bind data using Windows Forms data binding.
• Use a DataGridView for raw data inspection (Project 1 only).

📊 Advanced Charting (Project 2)

• Normalize chart axes to remove gaps and fully utilize display area.
• Support multiple stock comparisons, each in its own window.
• Annotate Peak (Green) and Valley (Red) candlesticks.
• Highlight special candlestick patterns using a custom SmartCandlestick class:
  • Doji, Marubozu, Hammer, Dragonfly, Gravestone, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral
• Automatically remove weekend/holiday gaps for daily data.

🔮 Predictive Analytics (Project 3)

• Enable interactive wave selection on charts (via mouse or scrollbars).
• Compute Fibonacci levels (0%, 23.6%, ..., 100%) between selected points.
• Evaluate "Beauty" score of a wave based on OHLC confirmations with Fibonacci lines.
• Display Beauty(price) as a function plot—used to estimate future highs/lows.
• Real-time updates to charts without reloading stock data.
