This page presents multiple chart types that you can build using the dxFeed Aggregated Data Services. Various platforms define their own ways of displaying this information, and the following examples are only a subset.

The simple, basic type of chart, displaying just one data point for each specific moment in time. With the dxFeed Aggregated Data Services, this data point can be not just the price, but also volume, implied volatility or open interest. Any candle type can be used for this purpose depending on the needs (see Aggregated Data Services Overview article in the dxFeed Knowledge Base).

This is a type of chart that is built using just the price movement instead of both price and standardized time intervals like most charts. A new brick is created when the price moves a specified price amount, and each one is positioned at a 45-degree angle (up or down) to the prior brick. An "up" brick is typically colored white or green, while a "down" brick is typically colored black or red. Read more on Investopedia.

You can use dxFeed option expiration candles to display charts of this type.

Market data contains information not only about realized trades but also about the orders waiting to be matched. Some advanced traders analyze the evolution of the order book, using this data to predict the future price movement.

dxFeed provides a special charting solution named ORCS to present data of this type on a graph. You can draw the Historical Market Depth graphs with any number of price levels and in historical periods receive updates of every price level with predefined frequency.
