Handles = highlow(High, Low, Close, Open, Color, Dates, Dateform)

Arguments

High

High prices for a security. A column vector.

Low

Low prices for a security. A column vector.

Close

Closing prices for a security. A column vector.

Open

(Optional) Opening prices for a security. A column vector. To specify Color when Open is unknown, enter Open as an empty matrix [].

Color

(Optional) Vertical line color. A string. MATLAB software supplies a default color if none is specified. The default color differs depending on the background color of the figure window. See ColorSpec in the MATLAB documentation for color names.
