HLC Bar Chart visually presents the data series as a sequence of bars. | |||
Each '''HLC''' bar is a vertical line connecting the '''High''' and the '''Low''' price points (ticks), and graphically represents the range of an instrument’s price movement over a defined interval. The price of the last tick of the tick group, on which the bar is based, is indicated on the right side of the line by a mark known as the bar's '''Close''' component. | |||
An HLC Bar has two components: '''High/Low''' and '''Close'''. | |||
The color and width of each of the bar's components can be customized in the '''Chart Style''' section. | |||
