Indicator Chart
Introduction
You can open the indicator chart by clicking on the small bar chart in the market panel.
The price is represented as Japanese candlesticks. The rectangular part of
the bar is called Candlestick body. It represents the range between the
open and closing prices. When the closing price of the bar is higher than its opening
price - the body is white, in the other case, the body of the candlestick is black.
The thin black vertical line on top of the body is Upper Shadow. The top
of the upper shadow is higher bar price. Below the body is the Lower Shadow.
Its bottom represents the lower bar price.
Therefore, the opening price of the bar is at the bottom of the white bar body or at the
top of the black bar body. The closing price is at the top of the white bar body.
When the body is black, the closing price is at its bottom.
You can zoom in the chart by pressing the plus [+] key and zoom out by the minus [-] key.
