Candle info on ChartIQ (Kite)
ChartIQ’s candle info displays the OHLC values of the candle the crosshair hovers over. The display is typically a panel at the top of the chart (vs TradingView’s floating info that follows the crosshair).
What the candle info shows
For the hovered candle:
- O: Open price.
- H: High price.
- L: Low price.
- C: Close price.
- V: Volume (if available).
- Time / Date stamp of the candle.
Position
The candle info panel on ChartIQ is fixed at the top of the chart. It updates when you move the crosshair to a different candle.
This differs from TradingView, which has a floating info box that moves with the crosshair.
Customisation
Most ChartIQ implementations allow:
- Showing / hiding the candle info panel.
- Customising which fields appear (e.g., add change %, change absolute).
- Theme-driven colouring.
When candle info shows different values
If candle info shows different values than expected, possible causes:
- Wrong timeframe selected.
- Continuous chart back-adjustment (futures).
- Corporate action adjustment.
- Data refresh in progress.
See Historical-candle values change after refresh .
