Hollow Candles

Hollow candles is made up of 2 types of candles. Bears and bulls, of course. And these at the same time have 2 divisions. Hollow Candle and Full Candle.



The Hollow candle is usually empty. And the full candle is usually totally full.

There is a lot of confusion when people ask the difference between a solid candle and a hollow one, as the question itself makes you think that you are comparing a hollow or solid candle to a traditional candle chart where all candles are solid.

Traditional candlestick charts (which are well covered in our technical analysis guide) are all solid and behave completely differently than a solid candlestick on a hollow candlestick chart.
