1. A method of displaying a symbol representative of changes in price during a time period, the method comprising:
receiving, for each intra-time period of a plurality of intra-time periods in the time period, intra-time price data including an intra-time open price and an intra-time close price corresponding to the intra-time period;
determining, from the received intra-time price data for the plurality of intra-time periods, an open price, which is an intra-time open price of an initial intra-time period of the plurality of intra-time periods;
determining a total-above-open-price counter value by determining, for each particular intra-time period of the plurality of intra-time periods, whether the intra-time close price of the particular intra-time period was greater than the open price, so that the total-above-open-price counter value indicates a number of the intra-time periods for which the intra-time close price was greater than the open price; and
generating and displaying, the symbol, which illustrates a relationship between the total-above-open-price counter value and the plurality of intra-time periods in the time period.
