A stock chart is a type of financial chart used to visualize the performance of stocks over time. It provides a graphical representation of a stock's price movements, trading volume, and other relevant financial data.

Volume Data: Displays the number of shares traded during a specific period, indicating the level of activity in the stock.
Time Axis: Represents the time period over which the data is plotted (e.g., days, months, years).
Price Axis: Represents the stock price values.
