HL Bar Chart visually presents the data series as a sequence of bars.
Each '''HL''' 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.
An HL Bar has one component: '''High/Low'''.
The color and width of each of the bar's components can be customized in the '''Chart Style''' section.
