Green / red body
The body splits at the amber seam: green is inferred aggressive buying (from the base up), red is aggressive selling (from the top down).
Amber control seam
The migrating power-line. High seam = buyers in control that day; low seam = sellers. It moves bar to bar as control shifts.
Absorption ring
An amber ring marks a high-effort, low-result bar: heavy volume but a tiny body, where one side is being absorbed.
D / W / M rail
Three cells on each column show Daily, Weekly and Monthly direction. White cap = all three Locked; amber cap = Diverging.

How the buy/sell split is inferred

Standard candles throw away who won the day. The Auction Candle reconstructs it from three honest signals in the OHLCV bar: where price closed inside its range, the path from open to close, and how much each wick was rejected. Those blend into an estimated aggressive-buy share that sets the seam. The control tape underneath sums that decisiveness over time, so you can read accumulation and distribution at a glance. Toggle Classic to compare against plain candles.

The buy/sell split is an analytical estimate inferred from price and volume, not measured order-flow or exchange tick data. For education only, not investment advice.
