Candlesticks and OHLC
The story inside one candle: the numbers and the chart together.
STEP 3 OF 4
Pick a candle
Use the candle selector below. Compare the Open and the Close. If a candle is green, its Close is above its own Open; this does not mean it is above the previous candle's Close.
AN EXAMPLE
The previous Close was 110. The next candle has an Open of 100 and a Close of 105. The new candle is green, but it is still below the previous Close.
RememberOne green candle is not a Buy signal.
