Chart Types Made Simple

Have you ever felt lost looking at complex trading charts? Fear not! Discover how the simple yet powerful chart types on our platform can turn you from a confused beginner into a confident trader.

1. Area Charts
2. Bars
3. Candles

Area charts

Area charts give you a simple view of how an asset’s price has moved over time. They connect price points and fill the space below the line, making it easy to spot the overall direction of the market. If you’re new to trading, this can be a good place to start.

Bars

Bar charts provide more detail than Area charts. Each bar shows the opening and closing prices for a specific period, along with the highest and lowest prices reached. This makes it easier to see price ranges and changes in market volatility.

Candles

Candlestick charts show the same basic price information as bar charts but in a more visual format. The candle’s body shows the opening and closing prices, while the wicks show the highest and lowest prices. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, Candlestick charts can be particularly useful for learning trend analysis and recognising common price patterns.

Whether you want a simple overview with an Area chart, more detail with Bars, or a closer look at price action with Candles, on ExpertOption, you can choose the chart type that fits your experience and what you want to learn.
