Candle Body-to-Range Ratio Calculator

Enter a single bar's open, high, low, and close to see what percentage of its total range was body versus upper wick and lower wick. A high body percentage points to a strong directional bar; a low body percentage points to an indecisive, doji-like bar sitting inside its range. Free to use, no signup required.

Educational tool only, not financial advice. Body and wick ratios are one input among many for reading a single bar. Check it against your own plan and risk rules before you trade it.
