    Chart Types Reference Guide

    Normal Chart types

  • Candle: The candlestick chart displays price data as individual candlestick patterns, consisting of a body and wicks, representing the open, high, low, and close prices for a specific time period. It provides a visual representation of price action and helps identify trends and reversal patterns.

  • Bar: The bar chart represents price data using vertical lines with small horizontal lines on each side, indicating the open, high, low, and close prices. It provides similar information as the candlestick chart but in a simpler form.

  • Colored Bar: Similar to the bar chart, the colored bar chart uses color-coding to indicate price direction. Rising prices are typically represented with green bars, while falling prices are shown as red bars.

  • Line: The line chart connects closing prices with a continuous line, offering a simplified view of price movements over time. It helps identify overall trends and visualizes the general direction of price changes.

  • Vertex Line: The vertex line chart is a variation of the line chart, representing price data using curved lines. It provides a smooth visualization of price trends and reduces noise from smaller price fluctuations.

  • Step: The step chart displays price data using a series of horizontal and vertical lines, connecting the closing prices. It emphasizes changes in price levels rather than the continuous movement between data points.

  • Mountain: The mountain chart displays price data as a filled area, with the height representing the price levels. It offers a visual representation of price distribution and helps identify areas of support and resistance.

  • Baseline: The baseline chart shows the price movement relative to a baseline value. It helps identify price deviations from a reference point and is useful for comparative analysis.

  • Hollow Candle: The hollow candlestick chart is similar to the regular candlestick chart but represents rising prices with hollow bodies instead of filled bodies. It offers a clear visual distinction between bullish and bearish periods.

  • Volume Candle: The volume candle chart combines the candlestick chart with volume bars. It provides insights into both price and trading volume, allowing for analysis of price movements in relation to trading activity.

  • Colored HLC Bar: The colored HLC (High, Low, Close) bar chart represents price data using vertical bars with color-coded segments to indicate price direction. It offers a concise view of price action.

  • Scatterplot: The scatterplot chart displays data points as individual dots on a graph, allowing for the visualization of relationships or correlations between different variables.

  • Histograms: The histogram chart represents data distribution using vertical bars of varying heights. It provides insights into the frequency or occurrence of specific data values within a range.
