OHLC charts display the Open, High, Low and Close prices in one easy-to read bar. The central line indicates the low and high, while the left-hand tick is the open and the right-hand tick is the close. Use the 'HLC Bar Chart' menu option if you want to display the chart without opening price ticks.

Candlestick Chart

Displays a candle chart of the closing price. Use the 'Hollow Candlesticks' menu option if you want hollow candles, the 'B/W Candles' option for Black & White candlesticks, and 'Display Centreline' if you'd like an indicator drawn across the middle of the candle body.

If you tick 'Show Candlestick Names' on the Program Settings form all recognised candlesticks will be named in a popup window as you move the mouse pointer over them. (Pro version only)
