Dotted line/Price Movement

When looking at the stock graph with the 1-day range selected, a dotted line will appear across the graph. This line represents the previous day's closing price.

The current day's price may fluctuate above or below the dotted line. As it does, the graph's color will change to green (above the line) or red (below the line) to help visualize the current price movement.

The current day can start above or below the previous day's close. This is because of changes to the stock price during previous day after-hours or current day pre-market trading.

The price change for the day is calculated by looking at the difference between the previous day's close and the current day's close. After-hours trading does not count.
