* OHLC "Bar Charts" - Open-High-Low-Close charts, also known as bar charts, plot the span between the high and low prices of a trading period as a vertical line segment at the trading time, and the open and close prices with horizontal tick marks on the range line, usually a tick to the left for the open price and a tick to the right for the closing price.
* Candlestick chart - Of Japanese origin and similar to OHLC, candlesticks widen and fill the interval between the open and close prices to emphasize the open/close relationship. In the West, often black or red candle bodies represent a close lower than the open, while white, green or blue candles represent a close higher than the open price.
* Line chart - Connects the closing price values with line segments.
* Point and figure chart - a chart type employing numerical filters with only passing references to time, and which ignores time entirely in its construction.
