Excel Stock Chart Types

Excel is adept at creating stock charts, offering flexibility and a variety of chart types. It provides four main stock charts: High Low Close, OHLC, VHLC, and Volume, catering to different data presentation needs for commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.

Steps to Create a High-Low-Close Chart

To create a high-low-close stock market chart in Excel, which is available from Excel 2010 through Excel 2019 for Microsoft 365, input the volume traded and date data correctly. Excel's functionality allows users to click any cell in a continuous range to auto-select all relevant data for the chart in versions 2013 and later.
