A day bar chart is a special chart window showing the current daily bar for an instrument. This is a convenient way to keep your eye on a graphical representation of the day's session. The day bar shows the open, high, low, and current price numerically and graphically. The bar is color coded as up or down based on either the open or previous session close. Optionally, the time of the high and low are shown. The day bar updates tick by tick. Think of it as a magnification of the last bar in a daily bar chart. The day bar chart also has a "Draw as Candlestick" options which provides a candle representation of prices as opposed to a bar.
