OHLC
Also called: open high low close, OHLC data, price range
The open, high, low and close of a trading session, the four prices that bar and candlestick charts draw.
The open is the first price, set on Indian exchanges by the pre-open auction; the high and low are the extremes traded; the close is the official closing price. The range, high minus low, is a simple measure of how much the price moved in the session.
