Candlestick
Compare open, high, low, and close values over time.
Chart ID: candlestick. Independent import: @revolist/charts/candlestick.
Live example
Section titled “Live example”Loading chart…
Reading the chart
Section titled “Reading the chart”Read the high/low wick and the open/close body for each observation. Rising and falling candles use different styling; time placement and price display modes are configurable.
Data requirements
Section titled “Data requirements”Bind open, high, low and close to their numeric series IDs; volume-price additionally needs volume. Preserve observation order, or author a supported time axis when categories represent instants.
The roles below describe the chart's data contract. Generic category/value roles resolve from the dataset; explicitly bind specialized numeric roles as shown in the complete example.
| Data role | Field count |
|---|---|
category | 1 or more |
series | 4 |
open | 1 |
high | 1 |
low | 1 |
close | 1 |

Create this chart
Section titled “Create this chart”Install the package using the installation guide, give the host an explicit height, and call createCandlestickChart after the host mounts. This factory fixes the chart type to candlestick.
