HLC or candlesticks

[profithunter]

What format do you think gives the best indicators?

Hi Profithunter,

Candlesticks... definitely for sure....
Perferably line graphs for options... (but this kinda suits me better)

Cheers,
sis

As they both give you the same information, it's very much an individual preference. Unless you are specifically using candlestick patterns, then of course candles will be the go.

For me, big red candles startle me too much. So I like OHLC. It's just a visual/psychological thing.

I have been studying Candlestick for last 3 weeks and I found it very useful. Before I normally using barchart.

I will stick to CandleStick from now.
