Finance graphs

Start with the measure. Revenue, balances, price changes, indexed comparisons, drawdowns, and allocations have different definitions even when they produce similar-looking charts. This collection develops those distinctions using invented numbers and explicit calculations. Explore the sample templates after reading the guide, and preserve each graphic’s limitations when publishing it elsewhere.

Begin with the question you want to answer, then inspect the matching example and its source values. These guides use invented data to make definitions and calculations reproducible. Read the visible measure, unit, period, and limitation together; no chart example here is a live market quote or a personal recommendation.
