Reading the numbers
The OHLC readout
Open, high, low, close and the change for the bar under the crosshair.
The first line in the chart's top-left corner reads O 24,512.35 H 24,530.10 L 24,498.00 C 24,521.60 +9.25 (+0.04%) for the bar under the crosshair, or the latest bar when the crosshair is off the chart.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| O H L C | The bar's first, highest, lowest and last traded prices. |
| Change | Close minus the previous bar's close, not minus this bar's open. The first bar of the history compares with its own open. |
| % | The same change as a percentage of the previous close. |
Colour follows the change's sign. Numbers are grouped Indian-style (1,00,000), use a true minus sign, and print in the symbol's own decimals (two for NIFTY, four for USD/INR), the same as its price axis. The line starts with the symbol's readable name (NIFTY BANK, BANKNIFTY 26 SEP 52500 CE), which opens symbol search; hover it for the raw id.
