Each candlestick summarizes price over one interval. A Chart Breakout puzzle gives you four candles and a level to compare against.
Four prices, one candle
- Open
- The price at the start of the interval.
- High
- The highest price reached.
- Low
- The lowest price reached.
- Close
- The price at the end of the interval.
In Chart Breakout, mint candles close at or above their open. Pink candles close below it. Open Show candle values to read the exact numbers.
Work through a fakeout
Say the level is 100 and the rule asks for the first candle that trades above 100 and closes below it. A candle with a high of 103 and a close of 99 qualifies. A candle with a high of 100 and a close of 98 only touched the level. A candle with a high of 105 and a close of 102 crossed the level but stayed above it at the close.
Check candles from A through D. Once a candle meets both conditions, select it. These examples use fictional prices for the game.
