Different Types Of Charts In Forex

[moonchild]

There are three types of charts or I'll say popular types of charts and you can use any of these charts to trade the market but as we all know the candlesticks charts are the most popular and most adopted type of charts, without further ado let's jump in.

1) Candlesticks: Candle sticks are the most popular charts that consists of candles predominantly colored as red and green and with candlesticks you can see the strength of the price with some candles that are made of full candles and half and as well as quarter, this makes reading the charts easy for almost everyone.

2) Line Chart: Line chart is a type of chart that is represented by a line and it used to pin point where the support and resistance are because it is linear and bumps a little when there is a rejection on a level.

3) Bar Chart: This is a chart that is the least used in trading because it is not easy to read for beginners, it is often used by advanced traders to notice levels and divergence and also it is often used to detect when a trend is changing.

I hope you've learnt something new in these post.

I've never heard of bar charts that are used in trading. The most common and the one I use is candlestick chart, since on this type of chart, one can analyse and predict price action. It's also easier to use for beginners and since most people use it, most tutorials and articles focus on it too.

I do know that line charts are very important when trying to find out the trend of the market, but it doesn't have as much information as the candlesticks, so you can't use it to determine entry, exits or stop loss areas.

Basically, I use the candlesticks patterns and the line charts. I have not used the bar chart but I think the aforementioned charts are very good to combine in the charts analysis. I use the line Chart to Identify the trends of the currency pair. Then, I use the candlesticks to predict the next trend direction. It is very important to take note of this.

Hower, you will need lots of knowledge around the technical analysis of the forex market. Forex is a highly essential internet investment, and I've been quite cautious when it comes to discussing forex. The main reason is that no one can claim to be an expert in everything. Or, even better, no one could claim that he had a 100 percent winning approach in forex all of the time. This is essentially the main reason why forex analysis should be approached with caution. The so-called "100% approach" likewise fails, proving that no one can predict the FX market. In the same spirit, you should keep in mind when doing chart analysis that you still need a method that works for you. The knowledge that you have garnered around forex will make you pull more successful trades.

We can classify forex charts into three categories depending on your experience level. First, the Basic Chart consists of Line charts, Tick charts, and Bar charts. For an Intermediate level person, Candlestick Charts will be ideal. Heiken-Ashi, Renko, Point and Figure Charts are good options for expert traders.

There are many things that s forex trader must know if he truly wants to make money in forex trading. Failure to know some of these things may cost him a lot. Apart from the fact that he will be losing money, he may also be frustrated because of consistent losing. That's why he needs to know how to read more about some charts to make more money while analysing the trade.

The common one is candle stick chart. As common and easy it may be. Some forex traders don't know how to read it. And this and some other factors may have led to the loss of some traders. There is need to know how to use the wick. What the red and green candles stand for. That's nt the only way, there must be supportive and resistance points.

Though line is almost accurately way of analysing forex trade, it may expect some technical says of doing it. You may need to input some numbers to really get the accurate answer. Maybe that is why most people always avoid to use this method while analysing their trade. They prefer to use the candle stick.

No one really uses the last method.

Ask and bid price are two terms in every stock market, so is in Forex. The bid price is what the dealer is willing to pay for a currency while the ask price is the rate at which a dealer will sell the same currency.

Candlestick charts are the best in my opinion. They have become the standard tool for technical analysis among forex traders. You get a clear and detailed view of the market situation making it easier to recognise trend patterns and plan our trades accordingly.

Candle chart is one of the most used chat in the forex market and cryptocurrency . The reason is because it is easy to be interpreted by a lot of forex expert and cryptocurrency traders. I have navigated through a forex demo platform before and I've come across all the three chart in the forex system . I haven't been able to use any of the other two about from the candle chart..

In most cases , forex and cryptocurrency expert can be able to use all the three charts in the trading platform to predict the market movement to a certain degree of accuracy. But however it seems certain traders will always want to stick to one of the charts they are able to interpret perfectly depending on the one they were exposed to at the initial stage of their learning process.

That is what determines most of the time .

The only difference between bar charts and candlestick charts is how they present the same data. Due to the colour coding of the price bars and thicker real bodies, which are better at displaying the difference between the open and the close, candlestick charts are more illustrative.
