A computer implemented method for displaying to a user a candlestick representative of a price range of a market traded security during at least a portion of a time period having a plurality of intratime periods includes receiving a OHLC (open, high, low, close) data of a first intratime period and a OHLC data of a second intratime period, a charting engine generating a candle body from an open price of the first intratime period and a close price of the second intratime period, determining a highest intratime period having a highest price from each high price of each the intratime period and a lowest intratime period having a lowest price from each low price of each the intratime period, the charting engine generating at least one of an upper wick and lower wick, a bottom of the upper wick connected to a top of the candle body above the highest intratime period and a top of the lower wick connected to a bottom of the candle body below the lowest intratime period, and the charting engine displaying the candlestick including the candle body and the at least one of the upper wick and lower wick, where the candlestick visually depicts and enables the user to see proportional to a width of the candle body when the upper wick and the lower wick have occurred during the at least a portion of the time period.
