# Candlestick
|
|
|
|
The candlestick visualization allows you to visualize data that includes a number of consistent dimensions focused on price movement. The candlestick visualization includes an Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) mode, as well as support for additional dimensions based on time series data.

|
|
|
|
Candlestick visualizations build upon the foundation of the [time series visualization][] and include many common configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
## Mode
|
|
|
|
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 visualization. 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.
|
|
|
|
## Color strategy
|
|
|
|
- **Since Open** is the default behavior. This mode will utilize the _Up_ color (below) if the intra-period price movement is positive. In other words, if the value on close is greater or equal to the value on open, the _Up_ color is used.
|
|
- **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](https://thetradingbible.com/how-to-read-hollow-candlesticks).
|
|
|
|
## Up & Down Colors
|
|
|
|
The **Up color** and **Down color** options select which colors are used when the price movement is up or down. Please note that the _Color strategy_ above will determine if intra-period or inter-period price movement is used to select the candle or OHLC bar color.
|
|
|
|
## Open, High, Low, Close
|
|
|
|
The candlestick visualization will attempt to map fields from your data to the appropriate dimension:
|
|
|
|
- **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.
|
|
- **Volume** corresponds to the sample count in the given period. (for example, number of trades)
|
|
|
|

|
The candlestick visualization legend doesn't display these values.
|
|
{{% /admonition %}}
|
|
|
|
To properly map these dimensions, the query results table from your data must include _at least_ the following columns:
|
|
|
|
- timestamp
|
|
- open
|
|
- high
|
|
- low
|
|
- close
|
|
|
|
If your data can't be mapped to these dimensions for some reason (for example, because the column names aren't the same), you can map them manually using the **Open**, **High**, **Low**, and **Close** fields under the **Candlestick** options in the panel editor:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Additional fields
|
|
|
|
The candlestick visualization is based on the time series visualization. It can visualize additional data dimensions beyond open, high, low, close, and volume The **Include** and **Ignore** options allow it to visualize other included data such as simple moving averages, Bollinger bands and more, using the same styles and configurations available in the [time series][] visualization.
