Great explanation without all the unnecessary talking. Thank you for this short video ❤

[@TradingView]

You’re welcome 😊

[@1p4142136]

Note: for Green Candles( bullish) the opening price is at the bottom of the candle and the closing price is at the top of the candle. For Red Candles (bearish) the opening price is at the top and the closing price is at the bottom. Also remember to take into account if you are looking it at an hourly, weekly, monthly, or a yearly candle.

[@trawsoza2926]

[@Farquad123]

Technically it’s the open / close during the time interval you specify.

[@subhag3506]

Very useful

[@TradingView]

Glad you think so!

[@user-rc3rs3tr7f]

So so simple❤

[@nimabahar8854]

great explanation except not mentioning about the time frame might confuse people.

[@not_j.]

Hey there, I have a question. What dose "throughout the day" means? Or is it at that time when that candles was formed?

[@nimabahar8854]

@@not_j. you can interpret it as 'during specific timeframe of your choice'

[@not_j.]

@@nimabahar8854 If I'm watching a 1 minute time frame chart, is it means the high price and the low price within 1 minute in that one specific candle? I mean Opening, closing, High, low of that specific candle only?

[@nimabahar8854]

@@not_j. yes.

[@TradingView]

We can clarify that in future videos! We've now made over 250+ videos with more on the way. Stay tuned.

All those long asssss lectures I’ve watched only to finally understand from a Short! 🙄😆

[@Internettoughguy547]

Wow all this in a short

[@Aperturealloy]

The open price on a candle is not the open of the stock market in the morning. It is the open for that candle. The singular interval of time.. Whatever you have your chart set to whether it be 1 min 5 min etc.....

[@John83118]

I'm captivated by the insightful wisdom of this piece. A book with similar subjects inspired new explorations. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

[@ElSmiley1000]

This is correct but it doesn’t have to be a day a candle can be any period of time depending on the time frame your looking at. Not a big deal but can confuse some new people

[@nimabahar8854]

Important point.

[@I3lazedOne]

I think lots of crypto people here and he seems to be speaking forex terms lol

[@akshayebenezar]

❤

[@8djd]

Close and open can be interchangeable

[@gooorgjooon]

On what basis was the last value of the candle calculated? after O H L C I see a percentage +0.34‎%‎ On what basis was it calculated?

[@shadracksam764]

How do i apply this in my trade to make profits?
Should i be doing this on the Daily timeframe ?

[@EricBishard]

One thing that is never explained is what "price of the asset is trading at" means. Is this closed trades, does that price take the ask price into consideration? This information would be helpful for those watching 1 minute candles and trying to trade on swings.

[@OptionsTrader0123]

New traders don’t get greedy just take profit and scale back in. Crawl your way up

[@Carolinanine_]

Ok. I need a class. Some things seem like basic knowledge to me but SOME stuff is like wtf lol

[@alcaprella7568]

He got the close part kind wronf it’s the price of the stock when that candle time frame is over not the whole market being closed

[@SoulLiveYT]

I have a question, why is the open and close price different on both green and red charts, they like switched

[@tracysmith4132]

So if it’s red what move to make after you have arrived to your conclusion

[@AlexanderSmith600]

That makes perfect sense for a daily chart, but the minute chart wouldn't have an open & close price every minute so why still use candlesticks?

[@gracefire7]

Old comment, but for those who wonder after...same thing, just shorter time frame.

[@skyboydenied4704]

So the close price becomes the open price the next day?🤔

[@ArunGordon]

What does it mean for 5 minute (or similar) duration?

[@ahilesh228]

🎉

[@mr8966]

but the highest price didn't necessarily follow the opening price sequentially in a green cancle

[@ChainsTales]

It mostly opens at top left g

[@blabbermouthcomedy3874]

please I need a full tutorial on this sir🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@karthickb7473]

Bro this is one candle your saying.. stock chart has series of candles right.. how Read in that scenarios.. because that's where we will decide right whether to buy or not

[@cliffistheman]

So each candle represents one trading day.

[@kingmaker7893]

throughout the day or at that time when that candles was formed?

[@not_j.]

Same question

[@not_j.]

Have you found the answer?

[@darylbonds913]

More of how to read a candlestick. Good vid though

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤝🏾

[@BitBard302]

Drawn into this topic? Dive even deeper with the synced Udemy course. "Trading Stocks Mastery Course" by Stuart Mills

[@ali-amaankhan3657]

If it for a 5 mins one is the close same thing?

[@ali-amaankhan3657]

Such as the same principle right ??
Help please don’t make fun of me I trying 😅

[@fkfkrkdjrkrk9953]

It's all about open price and close proce if the open price is higher than close price mean red😢
If the open price less than clos price mean green😂
No sutch thing as too red or too green so no need to focus at highest or lowest price😊

[@rayyankarthik]

What does the width of the candle represent?

[@8djd]

That's where the price ranged in , for the duration of that candle

[@ashwin81088]

But why are so many stacked side by side?

[@srilaxmiflutes]

I love uuuu so much, I kiss u, u make more easy 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@iphonememe9877]

So green means good for us ye?

[@iphonememe9877]

That’s if we bought the stock?

[@hlalanathisobetwa-ju6wg]

Can you please write this whole thing so that i can understan better please

[@capolo7632]

life isnt gonna always do handouts, you need to impovise, it aint even hard to just listen to what he said and write down, if you cant even do that then what u expect from trading

[@crypton1073]

he means the pivot numbers, the dollar numbers there are actually pivot numbers
