Drawing Bar Charts in MT4

The third option on the trading charts menu in MT4 platform is the "Bar Chart" button. This button key is used to choose the drawing method of price movement as price bars.

To trade on stock charts a trader may prefer to use the Bar Charts. The above menu button shows how a trader can select this option on the MT4.

These are drawn using color programming:

• Red bar - Price moved downward
• Blue bar - Price moved upward

These bars also have horizontal line to the left and to the right: these are used to explain the opening (left horizontal dash) & the closing (right horizontal dash).

The highest point shows the high of the price

The Lowest point shows the low of the price

These four points Open, High, Close, Low are Known as OHCL, abbreviation of the first letter for these 4 levels, these four OHCL levels will be represented on each & every single price bar.

These charts are not very popular among traders as they are not very appealing in terms of technical analysis & traders tend to favor other types.
