Thought to have been developed by Japanese trader Munehisa Homma, the candlestick chart is a modified bar chart which uses the top and bottom of each bar to indicate opening and closing price, and a line extending through each bar to represent the highest and lowest price.

These charts are also commonly called stock charts, since tracking the performance of financial assets is their primary use.

It is in the Stock module as you suggest. See also http://highslide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13701.

I see this task is over, however I cannot figure out where to find it in highcharts (not with higstock).
Thanks,

No, this has been around for a while now in Highstock.

hi is there any new development?

Candlesticks are only in Highcharts Stock. We haven't decided yet on how box charts would be implemented, but they will probably be an external module for Highcharts, like the Exporting module today.

I don't see this anywhere in high charts. If it is only in HighStock ... when will it be migrated (e.g. as a base for box charts).

Let us know if we can provide more details for you to absorb the codes.
