OHLC Graph Settings

OHLC Graphs also display time-based distributions of price data. For each time slice, they display:

q  Opening Price

q  Highest Price

q  Lowest Price

q  Closing Price

Similar with the Candle Stick Graph, a vertical line defines the range of traded prices across the period. However, in this case, the left notch determines the opening price and the right notch determines the closing price.

The OHLC graph settings pane is displayed after clicking the Options  button.
