Questions From Students:
Q.Do charts of candlesticks and the like appear for a variety of time scales? From the last part of your most recent lesson I understand that candlesticks don't show all of the variability. Thus the larger timescales would effectively be smoothing out a lot of the variability. On the larger timescales, would candlesticks be useful or is a simple line-chart better to evaluate those types of trends?
A. Good observation. Yes candlesticks can be used for any time frame, and they do appear differently. Over the course of one hour a 5 min candlestick would form 12 different candles. On a 30 minute time frame only 6 candles would form. Longer time frames will also smooth out variability like you suggested. There are various reasons for using multiple time frames in our analysis. We will look into those reason in future lessons.
Some lessons may include webinars for better visualization concerning charting concepts.
