An\u00a0open-high-low-close chart<\/strong> (also\u00a0OHLC chart<\/strong>, or simply\u00a0bar chart<\/strong>) is a type of\u00a0chart typically used to illustrate movements in the price of a\u00a0financial instrument over time.<\/p>\n Each vertical line on the chart shows the price range (the highest and lowest prices) over one unit of time, e.g. one day or one hour.\u00a0Tick marks project from each side of the line indicating the opening price (e.g. for a daily bar chart this would be the starting price for that day) on the left, and the closing price for that time period on the right. The bars may be shown in different hues depending on whether prices rose or fell in that period.<\/p>\n The Japanese\u00a0candlestick chart is another way of displaying market price data, with the opening and closing prices defining a rectangle within the range for each time unit. Both charts show exactly the same data, i.e. the opening, high, low, and closing prices during a particular time frame. Some traders find the candlestick chart easier to read.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bar chart (OHLC) An\u00a0open-high-low-close chart (also\u00a0OHLC chart, or simply\u00a0bar chart) is a type of\u00a0chart typically used to illustrate movements in the price of a\u00a0financial instrument over time.
