Chart Types
| Professional technical analysis requires that you have professional tools at your disposal. MultiCharts has both regular and exotic chart types to meet your individual needs. Each chart type offers a different perspective on the market—so you can make informed decisions. |

OHLC
This chart type is the most common way to display data for analysis. Open, high, low, and close prices are shown for the time increment represented by the bar. Bar charts can be time-based, tick-based, or volume-based.
Point and Figure
This chart type only plots price movements, without taking time into consideration. A column of X’s is plotted as the price rises—and O’s as the price drops.
Candlesticks
This chart type uses the same price data as regular bar charts, with each candlestick representing the open, high, low, and close. The thick part, called the real body, represents the range between opening and closing prices. Long thin lines, shadows and wicks/tails, represent the range of price movement for the bar.
Renko
This chart type only plots price movements, without taking time or volume into consideration. It is constructed from ticks and looks like bricks stacked in adjacent columns. A new brick is drawn after the price passes the top or bottom of previously predefined amount.
