[[File:Hollow candstick_1CS_HCandlestick.png|rightthumb]]
A Hollow Candlestick Chart plots the data series using a sequence of candlestick figures. A single candlestick consists of a body and a wick. The entire length of the candlestick represents the distance from the high to the low.
The body of a candlestick can be either hollow or solid.

|'''Hollow'''||A candlestick with a hollow body is called a bullish candlestick. The close is higher than the open.
