Candlestick Chart is the oldest type of charts used for price prediction. There are four elements necessary to construct a candlestick chart, the OPEN, HIGH, LOW and CLOSING price for a given time period. The period can be anything from a minute to a month.

 The body of the candlestick is called the real body, and represents the range between the open and closing prices. Real bodies can be either long or short and either red or green. The difference is the use of color to show if the market was up or down over the period. When the real body is red, it means the close was lower than the open. If the real body is green, it means the close was higher than the open.

The thin vertical line above and/or below the real body is called shadow. Shadows can also be either long or short. It shows the high and a low price of that period's trading. If the upper shadow on the red body is short, it indicates that the open was closer to the high. And a short upper shadow on a green body indictates that the close was near the high. The relationship between the open, high, low, and close determines the look of the candlestick.
