Transparent Candles

They are a type of candles whose main feature, as suggested by the name, is transparency. It is often necessary to add multiple indicators and drawing objects to the chart. To avoid cluttering the chart with too many colors, this chart mode is used for clarity.

Line Chart

This is the easiest chart to build, and it is based on the closing price of the selected range. This chart carries very little information content but is convenient for displaying general trends, especially over an extended period of several months or even years.

Clusters are the relatively new type of analytical chartsin the west, this stock information display mode is called the Footprint chart. Clusters represent digital or graphical display of data on performed sells and buys inside each bar at every price level.
