Line chart

Graphical representation of a price development on the basis of individual prices of the selected time-frame

A line chart is the most common type of chart in which, depending on the selected period, price determinations as data points are connected by a line, thus illustrating the price development. 

Intraday charts use intraday prices, are also useful for for weekly charts. Longer-term line charts are usually based on daily closing prices, making sure that extreme values that may occur during the trading day are not included.

Line charts for different time periods are available for each security on their respective data sheets on en.boerse-frankfurt.de
