Definition

<p style="text-align: justify;">A <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">candlestick</span> where all four <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">price</span>s, <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">high</span>, <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">low</span>, <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">close</span> and <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">open</span> are all the same for one <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">trading day</span>. On a well-traded <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">share</span> this would be a very rare occurrence. With a <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">thinly traded</span> share, if there is no <span class="glossary" style="border-bottom: 1px dotted black; cursor: pointer;">volume</span> traded, then the day is shown in your software with all four prices at the closing price of the previous day - which looks like a four-price doji, but is not really.</p>
