Overview

Base Control: QuantControl : MaterialControl
Namespace: Beep.Ski.Quantitative

The QuantControl is the root control for this diagram family. It inherits MaterialControl and provides shared port management, styling, and template methods for all nodes in the family.

This family contains 6 node types.

Node Types

Node Class	Shape	Description
`TimeSeriesNode`	Chart/candlestick	OHLCV time series with symbol, interval, and date range.
`IndicatorNode`	Indicator panel	Technical indicator: SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, Stochastic.
`DataNodes`	Data block	Input/transformed data including fundamentals and alternative data.
`IndicatorNodes`	Multi-indicator	Composite indicator combining multiple signals.
`StatisticalNodes`	Statistics icon	Statistical analysis: correlation, regression, distribution tests.
`StrategyNodes`	Strategy cog/icon	Trading strategy with entry/exit rules and position sizing.

TimeSeriesNode

OHLCV time series with symbol, interval, and date range.

Shape	Chart/candlestick
Input Ports	0
Output Ports	1+

IndicatorNode

Technical indicator: SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger, Stochastic.

Shape	Indicator panel
Input Ports	1
Output Ports	1

DataNodes

Input/transformed data including fundamentals and alternative data.

Shape	Data block
Input Ports	1
Output Ports	1

IndicatorNodes

Composite indicator combining multiple signals.

Shape	Multi-indicator
Input Ports	2+
Output Ports	1

StatisticalNodes

Statistical analysis: correlation, regression, distribution tests.

Shape	Statistics icon
Input Ports	1+
Output Ports	1

StrategyNodes

Trading strategy with entry/exit rules and position sizing.

Shape	Strategy cog/icon
Input Ports	2+
Output Ports	1

Connection Points

Every node in this family exposes connection points (ports) for linking to other nodes. Port positions are computed lazily by LayoutPorts(), which runs when MarkPortsDirty() flags the layout as stale after a move or resize.

Node Class	Input Ports	Output Ports	Extra
`TimeSeriesNode`	0	1+	—
`IndicatorNode`	1	1	—
`DataNodes`	1	1	—
`IndicatorNodes`	2+	1	—
`StatisticalNodes`	1+	1	—
`StrategyNodes`	2+	1	—

Connection Conventions

When building diagrams with this family, follow these conventions:

TimeSeries is always the data source (no inputs)
Indicators chain left-to-right from data to strategy
Strategies may output to backtesting or execution nodes

Usage Example

Complete example showing creation, node placement, and connection:

C# Example

var quant = new QuantControl
{
    X = 50, Y = 50,
    Width = 700, Height = 500
};
drawingManager.AddComponent(quant);

var ts = new TimeSeriesNode
{
    X = 100, Y = 150,
    Symbol = "AAPL",
    Interval = "1d"
};
var sma = new IndicatorNode
{
    X = 280, Y = 150,
    IndicatorType = "SMA",
    Period = 20
};
var strategy = new StrategyNode
{
    X = 460, Y = 150,
    StrategyType = "MovingAverageCrossover"
};

drawingManager.AddComponent(ts);
drawingManager.AddComponent(sma);
drawingManager.AddComponent(strategy);

drawingManager.ConnectComponents(ts.OutPoints[0], sma.InPoints[0]);
drawingManager.ConnectComponents(sma.OutPoints[0], strategy.InPoints[0]);
