FAQ
Candlestick Chart Maker questions
- What column order does a candlestick chart expect?
- Date, Open, High, Low, Close — the standard OHLC order. The first column can be any period label, not just a date.
- What do the colours mean?
- Candles that closed above their open are drawn in one colour and hollow; candles that closed below their open are filled in a contrasting colour. The thin wick spans the low to the high.
- Can I add moving averages or volume?
- Not in the candlestick view. For an overlay, paste the moving average as an extra column and render it as a line chart alongside.
- Is this a free candlestick chart maker online?
- Yes. Paste OHLC data and the candlestick chart renders in your browser instantly — no signup, no upload and no watermark.
