What Is a Forex Chart?

A forex chart graphically depicts the historical behavior, across varying time frames, of the relative price movement between currency pairs. Technical analysts and day traders will look at such charts in order to identify trends and various patterns that can signal reversals, continuations, entry points, and exits.



A forex chart, essentially, allows a trader to view the past, which, according to technical analysts, can be a predictor of future price movement. Most forex brokers will provide free forex charting software for clients who have open and funded trading accounts. Forex charts, like those available for other securities, present information useful for the technical analysis of a specific forex (FX) pair. 

Learning how to read a forex chart is considered to be somewhat of a science. They look complicated at first glance. Forex charts can look drastically different depending on what options you want to use. Charts usually have settings for the display style of the price and the time frame that you want to view. Time frames can be anywhere from 1 second to 10 years, depending on the charting system. Price can usually be displayed as a candlestick, a line, or bar.

Types of price charts
  • Line chart
  • Candlestick chart
  • Bar chart
  • Point and Figure charts
  • Renko charts
  • Heikin Ashi
Charts typically have several different display modes for displaying the price. One method that price can be shown is called Japanese candlesticks. Candlestick charts are the most commonly used display method for indicating the price on a forex chart. There are theories about using candlestick patterns to predict the price. Candlestick analysis is said to provide a nearly instant sentiment read on the market.

Price can also be displayed as a line. Line charts are a good way to simplify the display of the price. The line chart will show you the closing price for each period. Another way to display the price is by using a bar chart. The bar chart is similar to the candlestick chart. A bar chart will show you where the price opened, the high and low, and where the price closed.
