Area Chart

An area chart is created by drawing a line that connects the closing prices of each period. The region beneath the line is shaded. For example, in a chart with a daily interval, the line connects the closing prices for each day, whereas in a chart with a 10-minute data interval, the line connects the last tick price in the 10-minute period. In both cases, the region between the line and the chart's X-axis is shaded.

 Access from a Chart Analysis window using the Style > Area menu sequence. To customize, use the Style > Customize menu sequence and select the Settings tab

You can apply any study to an area chart. Only the close price is plotted, but all data is available for analysis.
