| This is the simplest form of chart available to the technical analyst. An example would have time presented along the X-axis and price on the Y-axis. The actual time function that you plot will depend on your position in the market Ñ a market maker will be interested in price fluctuations on a minute-by-minute basis, whilst the average investor will only be interested in a price on a daily or even weekly basis. Any price may be plotted on a line chart, but the most common is the closing, mid-price. Line charts are simple, present an uncluttered picture of price movements and are very easy to understand.
