Candle Charts

Lastly, we have the candle chart. This is the most widely used type of chart because not only does it do everything that the bar chart can do but it’s more visual with green or blue candles representing up days and red candles representing down days. This can be seen at a glance this way. Also there are many patterns that we’ll be discussing later on that can be seen on a candle chart that cannot be seen on a bar or line chart. These patterns can allude to the future price action to come when properly spotted. The Japanese have been using candlestick charts long before they were popularized in America.
