Candlestick Charts

Japanese candlestick charts are an increasingly popular way of looking at markets. With chart formations such as dojis, spinning tops, hammers, hanging men, three river bottoms, and evening stars, candlestick charting can provide a valuable alternative to traditional charting methods.  To change an Aspen Graphics bar chart to a candlestick, display the Study Menu and select Candlestick. The keyboard command to change a bar chart to a candlestick chart is .CANDLE.
