Charts are an efficient way to look at a lot of information about a stock all at once. By showing how much the price has moved up or down in a certain time period, a chart helps you, as an investor, better understand how the price is moving.

On Robinhood, you can view a standard or advanced chart for a stock. There are 2 types of charts you can look at:

• The line chart shows you the closing price at any point in time.
• The candlestick chart shows you 5 data points (open, close, low, high, and price direction) during a time interval, which is significantly more data to view at the same time in one place when compared to the line chart.

In the app, you can view a standard or an advanced version of either the line or candlestick chart. However, on the web, you can only view the candlestick option as an advanced chart.

The following shows the difference between the standard and advanced line charts for ROAR within the app:

The following shows an example of what’s available when you select View Settings (gear icon) within a chart in the app:

Indicators are calculated over a period of time, which are defined by the number of intervals. The length of an interval depends on the time span shown in the chart. You can select different time spans ranging from 1 day to MAX for stocks. Each time span plots a different time interval.

On advanced charts in the app, you can customise the interval used in the chart.

The following lists the default time intervals for the available time spans for stock charts:

• 1D (1-day) chart, 1 interval can be 5 or 10 minutes depending on the chart type and if shown in the app or on the web
• 1W (1-week) chart, 1 interval can be 10 or 30 minutes depending on the chart type and if shown in the app or on the web
• 1M (1-month) chart, 1 interval is 1 hour
• 3M (3-month) chart, 1 interval is 1 day
• YTD (year to date) chart, 1 interval can be 1 hour or 1 day depending on the number of months shown in the chart
• 1Y (1-year) chart, 1 interval is 1 day
• 5Y (5-years) chart, 1 interval is 1 week
• MAX (year 2000 or later) chart, 1 interval can be 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month depending on the amount of history shown in the chart

Custom intervals

In the app, you can also customize the time interval you want to view for a specific time span in an advanced chart.

Select the time span you want to change in the chart, and then select your preferred time interval. For example, the following shows how you can change the time intervals for 3M from 1D to 1H:

To see all available technical indicators, you need to open the Advanced chart view (2-arrow or expand icon). There you can add, remove, and customise indicators. We’ll save your preferences and apply them to the advanced charts for other stocks.

For more details about what’s shown in the advanced view, check out Technical indicators.

Each candlestick includes the following during the selected time interval of each candle:

• Open is the beginning price
• Close is the price of the last trade
• High is the highest price reached
• Low is the lowest price reached

The following shows a candlestick chart, where the body, or thick part, of the candlestick represents the difference in the open and close prices. If it has no body, it means the open and close prices are the same.

The wicks, or thin lines, of the candlestick represent the high and low prices in the selected time interval.

• A bullish candlestick is green when the price has increased, meaning the close price is above the open price:

• A bearish candlestick is red when the price has decreased, meaning the close price is below the open price:
