My colleague has constructed a set of standard, clean, and optimized graphical (.svg) markers for use in charts.
From the README:
Charts in financial markets are a mess: $ or € or £ or ¥ might be represented by different symbols on different charts. Indeed, sometimes different symbols in charts created by the same author and appearing on the same page.
A consistent set of markers would allow readers to focus more on the meaning of the data, and less on the distraction of attempting to decode the markers. Such a set of markers has been made.
If you like this effort and can help promote it please leave commentary here ("How can this set of markers be promoted?")
