Daily Chart

a.k.a. D1

A chart where each candle or bar represents one full trading day.
In plain English

A chart where each candle or bar represents one full trading day.

On a daily chart, every candle is a day: where price opened, how high and low it went, where it closed. It is the go-to view for spotting the bigger trend without the noise of minute-by-minute charts.

In forex, when a 'day' ends depends on your broker's server time; most use 5 p.m. New York time, so a 24-hour market gets clean daily candles. See daily cut-off.
