  11. Chart School and Pattern Recognition • Primary Differences Between IBD and other charting software • Type of Price Bar • IBD Price Bar uses High, Low, and Close. There is a small difference in how the bar is drawn between Marketsmith and the website. • Most other charting software uses Open, High, Low, and Close. • Color of Price Bar • IBD determines the color of the price bar based on whether the price closes up or down from yesterday. • Most charting software determines the color of the price bar based on whether the price closes up or down from where it opens in the same day. • Handling of Holidays • IBD leaves a space in the chart when there is a holiday. • Other charting software generally does not leave a space on the chart when there is a holiday. • The reason this matters sometimes is it will affect trend lines that are drawn on daily charts.
