[Site Bug] Candlestick Image has opening & closed reversed

[jan-mr]

Describe the bug / What do the docs say now?

The example of a candlestick on the page https://docs.timescale.com/tutorials/latest/financial-tick-data/ shows a green candle, i.e. increasing or "bullish", but the "Open" points to the top of the body while "Close" points to the bottom of the body. In this order it would mean that an asset opened at a higher price than its closing price. This means it lost value and the candle should be red (decreasing or "bearish").

What should the docs say?

Either ...

• the order of "Open" / "Close" needs to be reversed
• or the candle's body should have red color
