Module 4: Technical Analysis
Chart Types
4 min read
Line, bar and candlestick charts show the same data with different detail.
Three main charts
Line charts connect closing prices and give a clean overview. Bar (OHLC) charts show the open, high, low and close as vertical bars. Candlestick charts show the same data with coloured bodies and are the most popular choice for forex.
Key takeaways
- Line charts simplify; candles add detail.
- Use the same chart type consistently.
- Timeframe choice changes what you see.
