Real Body In candlestick charting this is the wide part of a candle that represents the range between the opening and the closing prices over a specific time period. Investopedia Says: When the real body of a candle is black or shaded red, it means the close was lower than the open; if the real body is empty or colored green, it means the close was higher than the open.
