```

## Candlestick Chart

Candlestick chart is typically used to illustrate movements in the price of a financial instrument over time. This chart is also popular by the name "ohlc chart". That's why you can call it with `ohlc_chart` too.\
So, here's how you make it.

Given:

```erb
<%
  require 'date'

  def candlestick_data
    @acc = rand(6570..6650)
    60.times.map {|i| [Date.today - 60 + i, ohlc] }.to_h
  end

  def ohlc
    open = @acc + rand(-20..20)
    high = open + rand(0..100)
    low = open - rand(0..100)
    @acc = close = open + rand(-((high-low)/3)..((high-low)/2))
    [open, high, low, close]
  end

  candlestick_options = {
    plot_options: {
      candlestick: {
        colors: {
          upward: '#3C90EB',
          downward: '#DF7D46'
        }
      }
    }
  }
%>
```

You can make candlestick chart with this:

```erb
<%= candlestick_chart(candlestick_data, candlestick_options) %>
```

## Box Plot Chart

Given:

```erb
<%
  require 'date'

  def box_plot_data
    20.times.map {|i| [Date.today - 20 + i, box_plot_datum] }.to_h
  end

  def box_plot_datum
    level = 1000
    max = level + rand(50..300)
    min = level - rand(50..300)
    q1 = min + rand(10..50)
    q3 = max - rand(10..50)
    median = (min + q1 + q3 + max)/4
    [min, q1, median, q3, max]
  end

  box_plot_options = {
    plot_options: {
      boxPlot: {
        colors: {
          upper: '#aaffaa',
          lower: '#ffaaFF'
        }
      }
    }
  }
%>
```

You can make box plot chart with this:

```erb
<%= box_plot_chart(box_plot_data, box_plot_options) %>
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://a-styd.gitbook.io/apexcharts-ruby/usage/cartesian-charts/part2.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
