Fast Candlestick Charts
=======================

TradeTide draws candles with a small number of Matplotlib collections instead
of creating one artist per bar.  This makes the visualisation practical for
large intraday datasets.  By default, the renderer aggregates data to no more
than 2,000 visible candles while preserving each bucket's OHLC values.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 12-14

Load a bundled market and render the ask side.  Pass ``max_candles=None`` to
display every observation, or lower it further for fast interactive views.
