FAQ

Histogram height visualises per-bar conviction: tall bars imply strong directional pressure inside that candle, shallow bars imply indecision or low energy—useful for seeing whether a move is participation-backed or feeble.

Sustained tall bars in one direction support riding the impulse—trend and breakout traders treat that as permission to hold longer while structure holds.

When bar height collapses after a powerful sequence, momentum may be stalling even if price has not printed a textbook reversal—time to tighten risk or bank partials.

Join moves when strength expands in your trade direction; avoid chasing after strength visibly dries up unless a separate setup justifies continuation.

Yes—the metaphor is literal bar altitude, but beginners still need location rules so tall bars at terrible prices do not seduce them into blind momentum trades.
