Question Explanation

Text Explanation

Writing down the values given in the candlestick chart in the form of a table for ease of calculation,

There are three bullish shares, C D and G

Lets say a trader buys one share of each of these stocks, and sells them at their day's high

One share of C at opening is 800, sells at 1400

One share of D at opening is 500, 1200

One share of G at opening is 1200, 1900

Total Investment is 2500, and total money after selling is 4500

That is an 80% return since, (45002500)2500=0.8\dfrac{\left(4500-2500\right)}{2500}=0.8
