If you're seeing a line chart instead of a candlestick chart in MT5, it likely means the chart type is still set to 'Line'. You can switch it back to candlesticks manually. To view a candlestick chart, make sure to select the correct chart type in MT5.
When comparing a candlestick vs. line chart, candlesticks provide a more detailed price data. If the candlestick chart still isn’t clear enough to view all the details, try using the 'Zoom In' tool to make it more visible.
