What are candlestick charts?
Imagine you want to know how a price behaved today — not just where it ended up, but its whole little adventure. Did it climb? Did it slump? Did it have a wild, jittery afternoon? There's a chart designed to tell you all of that at a glance, and each piece of it is shaped, charmingly, like a candle.
Each candle tells the story of one chunk of time — maybe one day, maybe one hour, maybe one minute. You decide the slice. Whatever slice you pick, that candle records four moments of the price during it: where it started, where it ended, the highest it reached, and the lowest it sank.
