===Types of charts===
* [[Candlestick chart]]{{spaced ndash}}Of Japanese origin and similar to OHLC, candlesticks widen and fill the interval between the open and close prices to emphasize the open/close relationship. In the West, often black or red candle bodies represent a close lower than the open, while white, green or blue candles represent a close higher than the open price.
* [[Line chart]]{{spaced ndash}}Connects the closing price values with line segments. You can also choose to draw the line chart using open, high or low price.
* [[Open-high-low-close chart]]{{spaced ndash}}OHLC charts, also known as bar charts, plot the span between the high and low prices of a trading period as a vertical line segment at the trading time, and the open and close prices with horizontal tick marks on the range line, usually a tick to the left for the open price and a tick to the right for the closing price.
* [[Point and figure chart]]{{spaced ndash}}a chart type employing numerical filters with only passing references to time, and which ignores time entirely in its construction.
