Summit Logistics Trading Week

Summit Logistics is a fictional company used to explain how a candlestick chart encodes daily price data. The example contains both rising and falling candles, which lets students identify the body direction and distinguish it from the high-low wick. The values are deliberately modest and the time range is only one week, so every period can be discussed individually. When building a real chart, verify that the source data are ordered correctly for the renderer: open, close, low, high. A chart with values in conventional OHLC order can look plausible while being wrong. This example can be extended with a moving average after readers understand the individual candles and their price ranges.
