red -> price went down thin line: top -> hourly high bottom -> hourly low "candle" (square): top -> opening price bottom -> closing price Title: Re: I don't know how to read that new mtgox 24 hr trade chart Post by: 322i0n on August 19, 2011, 12:17:08 PM the length of the candle is the movement in price. if the price has gone up the bottom of the candle will be the open price, the top of the candle will be the close price level. if the price went down the reverse happens.
it is easier to understand on bitcoincharts.com with the more variables to play with the data. this is the movement of price for 1 day shown in 1 minute candles. http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg1zig1-minzvztgSzm1g10zm2g25 this is the same movement shown in hourly candles. http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg1zig1-minzvztgSzm1g10zm2g25 these are not single trades but price movement over the given time. the mtgox chart has 24 candles so they are probably hourly candles. you are seeing the price changes each hour for the last 24 hours.
