A type of line-based chart that uses blocks to show trends in data. Upward changes in data are represented by empty blocks, while downward changes are represented by solid blocks.
The chart is structured according to a formula, meaning trends only change direction when a value exceeds the high or the low of the preceding three values. As a result, a different number of data points may appear in the chart than in the source data, and the chart does not strictly follow the passage of time.
The default three-value limit can be changed using the Number Of Lines In Break option. The colour of the up-trending blocks can be defined using the Price Up Colour option.
