Candle or Candlestick

A candle is a representation of the open, high, low and close prices of a security over a given period of time such as a day, hour, minute, or week. A candle where the open price is lower than the closing price is shown with a green or white body. When the closing price is lower than the opening price the body of the candle is red or black. Candles are seen in Candlestick Charts.
