Types of Trading Charts: How to Read Line, Bar and Candlestick Charts

The prices of financial market assets are constantly changing. As soon as a new quote arrives at the trading platform, it forms the chart of which there are three main types:

- Line chart
- Bar chart
- Japanese candlesticks

It is important to note, that on all FxPro trading platforms, charts are built from ‘’bid’’ prices only. The ‘’ask’’ price can be viewed as a horizontal line on the chart.
