Like <strong>Hi-Lo-Open-Close</strong> charts, <strong>Candle</strong> charts use the same price data (time, high, low, open, and close values) except they include a thick candle-like body.</p> <p>The <strong>Candle</strong> chart is made up of the following elements:</p> <ul> <li><strong>candle</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>The thick, candle-like body uses color and size to reveal additional information about the relationship between the open and close values.</p> <ul> <li>A long, transparent candle shows buying pressure, and a shorter, filled candle shows selling pressure.</li> <li>A hollow or transparent candle indicates a rising stock price (close was higher than open). In a hollow candle, the bottom of the body represents the opening price and the top of the body represents the closing price.</li> <li>A filled candle indicates a falling stock price (open was higher than close). In a filled candle the top of the body represents the opening price and the bottom of the body represents the closing price.</li> </ul> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>wick</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>The wick is the line above the candle, which depicts the high range.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>tail</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>The tail is the line below the candle, which depicts the low range.</p> </blockquote> <p>The image below labels the candle chart elements:</p> <p><img border="0" alt="" src="images/Graphics/ChartType_Candle_Labeled.png"></p> <p>The following image represents the Candle chart when you set <strong>ChartType</strong> property to <strong>Candle</strong> and specify the data values for the <a href="C1.WPF.C1Chart.4~C1.WPF.C1Chart.XYDataSeries~XValues.html">XValue</a>s, <a href="C1.WPF.C1Chart.4~C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowSeries~HighValues.html">HighValues</a>, <a href="C1.WPF.C1Chart.4~C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowSeries~LowValues.html">LowValues</a>, <a href="C1.WPF.C1Chart.4~C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowOpenCloseSeries~OpenValues.html">OpenValues</a>, and <a href="C1.WPF.C1Chart.4~C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowOpenCloseSeries~CloseValues.html">CloseValues</a>, like the following:</p> <div class="FilteredContentCS" data-title="CS" data-itemid="CS"> <table class="SyntaxTable"> <tbody> <tr> <th>XAML</th> <th> <div class="CopyCodeWrapper"> <span class="CopyCode">Copy Code</span> </div> </th> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <pre> <c1chart:C1Chart ChartType=<span style="COLOR: #800000">"Candle"</span>> <c1chart:C1Chart.Data> <c1chart:ChartData> <c1chart:HighLowOpenCloseSeries XValues=<span style="COLOR: #800000">"1 2 3 4 5"</span> HighValues=<span style="COLOR: #800000">"103 105 107 102 99"</span> LowValues=<span style="COLOR: #800000">"100 99 101 98 97"</span> OpenValues=<span style="COLOR: #800000">"100 100 105 100 99"</span> CloseValues=<span style="COLOR: #800000">"102 103 103 99 98"</span> /> </c1chart:ChartData> </c1chart:C1Chart.Data> </c1chart:C1Chart> </pre> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p>The XAML markup above will result in a chart that resembles the following image:</p> <p><img border="0" alt="" src="images/Graphics/ChartType_Candle_Changed.png"></p> <p> </p><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="Changing the Candle Stick Width.html">Changing the Candle Stick Width</a></div> </div><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright © <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
