Candlestick charts

Candlestick charts let you see more information than simple line charts. A candle represents a specific time period – for example, five minutes, one hour or one day. Each candle shows you four important values – the high price, low price, open price and close price for the selected time period.

The thick coloured ‘body’ of the candle shows the opening and closing prices and the thin ‘wicks’ represent the highest and lowest prices. If the price is trading higher than the previous close, then the body of the candle is coloured green; if it’s lower, the candle will be red.
