The story inside one candle: the numbers and the chart together.
STEP 4 OF 4
Closed and live candles
The last candle of a live chart keeps changing until its time is over. Its High, Low and the Close you see now keep updating. Here, all the practice candles are completed; they do not update tick by tick.
AN EXAMPLE
If a 1h candle starts at 10:00, its colour at 10:20 may not be the same as its final colour at 11:00.
RememberPractice: note down the four numbers of one candle, then write its story in your own words.
