Costumize indicators from stock tools

Question

I'm trying to implement some technical indicators series and add them to the indicators popop from stock tools. If I import highcharts/indicators/indicators-all I end up getting dozens of indicators, so I figured to import only the ones I need, so far I wasn't able to achieve that, if I import highcharts/indicators/indicators I end up getting only SMA, I tried to import other technical indicators via highcharts/indicators/indicators-INDICATOR-NAME but it didn't work.

Besides that I'd like to create a technical indicator/function such as Linear Regression (from this example) and attach them to the indicators popup as well.

function getLinearRegression(xData, yData) {
  var sumX = 0,
    sumY = 0,
    sumXY = 0,
    sumX2 = 0,
    linearData = [],
    linearXData = [],
    linearYData = [],
    n = xData.length,
    alpha,
    beta,
    i,
    x,
    y;

  // Get sums:
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    x = xData[i];
    y = yData[i];
    sumX += x;
    sumY += y;
    sumXY += x * y;
    sumX2 += x * x;
  }

  // Get slope and offset:
  alpha = (n * sumXY - sumX * sumY) / (n * sumX2 - sumX * sumX);
  if (isNaN(alpha)) {
    alpha = 0;
  }
  beta = (sumY - alpha * sumX) / n;

  // Calculate linear regression:
  for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    x = xData[i];
    y = alpha * x + beta;

    // Prepare arrays required for getValues() method
    linearData[i] = [x, y];
    linearXData[i] = x;
    linearYData[i] = y;
  }

  return {
    xData: linearXData,
    yData: linearYData,
    values: linearData
  };
}

Is that even possible?

EDIT

To add a specific technical indicator you should add as an import highcharts/indicators/NAME (highcharts/indicators/ema, highcharts/indicators/rsi e.g.)

That feature is not implemented in stock tools, but it could be very useful so you can create a new feature request here: https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/issues/new/choose

Workaround:

All indicator series from plot options are added to stock tools, so you can customize chart.options.plotOptions, for example in load event:

chart: {
  events: {
    load: function() {
      var plotOptions = this.options.plotOptions,
        filteredSeries = {};

      Highcharts.objectEach(plotOptions, function(option, key) {
        if (!option.params || key === 'dema' || key === 'customlinearregression') {
          filteredSeries[key] = option;
        }
      });

      this.options.plotOptions = filteredSeries;
    }
  }
}
