Drawing Line Stocks Charts in MT4
This is the fifth option on the charts menu within the MT4 platform. The line stock chart button shown below.
The line stocks trading charts are not popular and are not used by many traders as these do not show a lot of information that is useful for technical analysis. This option will only draw a stock price line that connects the closing stock prices leaving out all other data.
When compared to candlesticks that will show the Opening, the Closing, the Low and the High of stock price, then the line stock chart leaves out a lot of information in its graphical representation of market movement.
Most of this information is useful and used by most traders when using technical analysis method therefore the candlesticks are preferred because they provide more information for technical analysis.
For this reason this charting method is not popular among technical traders and therefore not widely used.
