OHLC Bar: Bar charts are one of the most popular types of charts used in technical analysis. For each trading day a vertical line is plotted.
There are 3 types of bar charts :
- Open/High/Low/Close:The top of the vertical line indicates the highest price a security traded at during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is displayed by the mark on the right side of the bar and opening prices are shown on the left side of the bar.
- High/Low/Close: The top of the vertical line indicates the highest price a security traded at during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is displayed by the mark on the right side of the bar.
- High/Low: The top of the vertical line indicates the highest price a security traded at during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price.

If High or Low data do not exist, then only Close is graphed for that day. |
Line Chart: A line chart is the simplest type of chart. One price (close) is plotted for each time period. A single line connects each of these price points. The main strength of this chart type is simplicity.
Candlestick: Developed by the Japanese in the 1600's, candlestick charts are merely bar charts that extenuate the relationship between open, high, low and closing prices. Each candlestick represents one period of data (day-week) and consists of an upper shadow, lower shadow and the body. The upper shadow is the highest price that the stock traded at for the period while the lower shadow represents the lowest price.
