Real Body

In candlestick charting this is the wide part of a candle that represents the range between the opening and the closing prices over a specific time period.

Notes:

When the real body of a candle is black or shaded red, it means the close was lower than the open if the real body is empty or colored green, it means the close was higher than the open.
