# HighLowOpenClose Chart

## Content



The difference between common chart types and financial charts is that **HighLowOpenClose** charts require a special type of data series object, the [HighLowOpenCloseSeries](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowOpenCloseSeries.html). In this type of data series, each point corresponds to a period (typically one day) and contains five values:

*   Time
*   Price at the beginning of period (Open)
*   Price at the end of period (Close)
*   Minimum price during period (Low)
*   Maximum price during period (High)
*   To create financial charts you need to provide all these values.

The following image represents the **HighLowOpenClose** chart when you set **ChartType** property to **HighLowOpenClose** and specify the data values for the [XValues](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.XYDataSeries.XValues.html), [HighValues](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowSeries.HighValues.html), [LowValues](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowSeries.LowValues.html), [OpenValues](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowOpenCloseSeries.OpenValues.html), and [CloseValues](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.HighLowOpenCloseSeries.CloseValues.html), like the following:

```xml
<c1chart:C1Chart ChartType="HighLowOpenClose">
    <c1chart:C1Chart.Data>
      <c1chart:ChartData>
        <c1chart:HighLowOpenCloseSeries
            XValues="1 2 3 4 5"
           HighValues="103 105 107 102 99"
           LowValues="100 99 101 98 97"
           OpenValues="100 100 105 100 99"
           CloseValues="102 103 103 99 98"
         />
      </c1chart:ChartData>
    </c1chart:C1Chart.Data>
  </c1chart:C1Chart>
