Candlestick

The mode options allow you to toggle which dimensions are used for the visualization.

• Candles limits the panel dimensions to the open, high, low, and close dimensions used by candlestick visualizations.
• Volume limits the panel dimension to the volume dimension.
• Both is the default behavior for the candlestick panel. It includes both candlestick and volume visualizations.

Candle style

• Candles is the default display style and creates candle-style visualizations between the open and close dimensions.
• OHLC Bars displays the four core dimensions open, high, low, and close values.

• Since Prior Close is an alternative display method based where the color of the candle is based on the inter-period price movement or change in value. In other words, if the value on open is greater than the previous value on close, the Up color is used. If the value on open is lower than the previous value on close, the Down color is used. This option also triggers the hollow candlestick visualization mode. Hollow candlesticks indicate that the intra-period movement is positive (value is higher on close than on open), filled candlesticks indicate the intra-period change is negative (value is lower on close than on open). To learn more, see the explanation of the differences.

Up & Down Colors

The candlestick panel will attempt to map fields to the appropriate dimension. The Open, High, Low, and Close options allow you to map your data to these dimensions if the panel is unable to do so.

• Open corresponds to the starting value of the given period.
• High corresponds to the highest value of the given period.
• Low corresponds to the lowest value of the given period.
• Close corresponds to the final (end) value of the given period.
