I don't understand the author obsession with ugly color gradients. Very ugly interface, no explanations on the project...

I suggest you use light colours which doesn't spread over a range.
These things are important as logical ability when you are a professional programmer.

dude, a couple of comments - hope it will help you.
in writing decision-support systems for a trading environment you shouldn't emphasize on 3d-graphs first and foremost. rather focus on data-accuracy, timing, post-processing etc. your trader will tell you soon enough (in due time?) how he wants the data presented so it turns into useful information.
from a code-project point-of-view, it is not so interesting to see the end-result of your work. i'd be much more fascinated with a detailed discussion on how to process incoming data and update gui clients in real time. particularly, if you take different client environments into account such as java app, c++/mfc/vc app, c# app, webpage? then it gets really interesting.
moreover, i want to know where do you get your data from in your application? can we perhaps have a look to your code?
ciao 4 now, nicolai.

posting your article here at CP is not easy, first you need to get ready for the criticism. but so far I found that most of the feedbacks are constructive comments instead of mockings. nevertheless, we are all improving our programming skill here, MVPs or not.
just like they said in the movie business, "if you have a hit, you are a super star, if not, take it in ur xss"

having worked quite a few years writing systems for traders in various stock markets around the world i can honestly say i have never seen anything quite like this ... no trader would bother to use it ... it is far toohard to read anything useful from it and what info it does give is so much better conveyed with a simple candlestick chart

Isn't this an oxymoron?

We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt. Marc Clifton
VB is like a toolbox, in the hands of a craftsman, you can end up with some amazing stuff, but without the skills to use it right you end up with Homer Simpson's attempt at building a barbeque or his attempt at a Spice rack. Michael P. Butler

I think the 3D presentation for this kind of information is overkill, and your color choices are pretty much unreadable.
All you have here is 3D bars. Am I missing something? What about daily open, close, hi, low, and avg? I bet you could have done some snazzy 3D display with 6 axis of information (time being the sixth), rather than just two (price and time).
What college are you going to, BTW?

Marc is right....it's too much color on too less space...it is quite eye - killing and unreadable.

You obviously have the ability to use color -- make it convey information, rather than impede its transfer.

Are we supposed to assume that because you are a "Microsoft MVP, Visual C#" you're so much better than the others and in position to criticize other's work ? If you don't need it, or simply don't appreciate it, you can however note the effort. We're looking forward for some "Microsoft MVP, Visual C# superior code you will feed us" !

Oh, what the heck. Yes! Certainly more so than an anonymous poster. 
Furthermore, there is such a thing as constructive criticism, which I felt I gave.

Well, I'm not a Microsoft MVP but I have to agree -- this is a classic example of a "message getting lost in the noise" interface. IMO, this project should be included and discussed in all Computer Science classes.
