Marubozu candle

A Marubozu candidate has a large real body and minimal upper and lower wicks under disclosed body-to-range tolerances.

Plain-language meaning

A Marubozu candidate has a large real body and minimal upper and lower wicks under disclosed body-to-range tolerances.

Why it is useful

Marubozu candle is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.

Where it appears in XMarketRadar

Look for Marubozu candle in Advanced Chart settings, indicator panels, screeners and technical research for the selected listing and bar interval.

How it is calculated or sourced

Calculate real body as |close−open| and full range as high−low. A Marubozu rule must disclose the minimum body/range ratio and maximum wick tolerances; XMarketRadar does not infer those thresholds from appearance.

Inputs, period and unit

Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.

Worked example

Illustrative only: With open ₹100, high ₹110, low ₹99.80 and close ₹109.80, the body is ₹9.80 of a ₹10.20 range and both wicks are small; it may satisfy a disclosed Marubozu tolerance.

What high and low mean

A higher or lower Marubozu candle value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.

Positive, negative and genuine zero

Positive and negative Marubozu candle values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.

When it is unavailable

Unavailable (—) means Marubozu candle is absent, unsupported, stale under the screen's rules or not computable from verified inputs. It must never be converted to zero or a neutral signal.

Limitations and common mistakes

Marubozu candle may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.

Market-specific differences

The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
