  3. Pie charts

  4. Stacked area charts

  5. Sector charts (tree maps)

  6. Candle charts

Single line charts

What are they?

A simple chart that plots data over time, and draws a line between the plots.

What are the use cases?

  • Demonstrate value growth/decline over time

Bar charts

What are they?

A simple chart that groups common data and compares it against other groups.

What are the use cases?

  • Compare this month's revenue to last month's revenue

Pie charts

What are they?

A circular chart that divides itself into sections that each represent a portion of the whole.

What are the use cases?

  • Understanding portfolio allocation (30% of my portfolio is allocated to X)

Stacked area charts (layers)

What are they?

Similar to a line chart, stacked area charts have all data sets stacked atop each other to help visualise change over time.

What are the use cases?

  • Demonstrate value growth/decline over time

Sector charts (tree maps)

What are they?

A series of nested rectangles make up this chart, each rectangle is a visualisation of hierarchical data.

What are the use cases?

  • Visualise one sector against another (the larger the rectangle, the larger the market cap)

Candlestick charts

What are they?

A financially focussed chart that visualises price movements of a currency or similar.

What are the use cases?

  • Understand daily price movements

  • Visualise highs and lows of a price throughout a time series

By understanding these chart types and their use cases, you can gain better insights into your crypto assets and make more informed decisions using the Caleb & Brown Portal.
