Let's delve into a charting method that originated in Japan during the 1700s. This method involves plotting the high and low prices for a specific time period as a single line, known as the shadow. The price range between the opening and closing prices is then represented as a box or rectangle on the line. If the market closes above the open, the box is left empty or white. Conversely, if the close is below the open, the box is filled in black. This method is known for its simple yet effective visualization of price movements.
