Of course share prices move during the day, so in plotting the share price on, for instance, 11th April 2002, you could actually pick from 7 prices:Opening price - the price of the first trade of the dayHigh - the highest price at which the share traded during the dayLow - the lowest price at which the share traded during the dayClose - the final price at which the share traded during the dayBid - the price that a market maker is willing to pay for a financial instrument and the price you will receive if you are sellingAsk - the price at which a market maker is willing to sell you a share and the price you will pay if you are buyingMid - the price midway between the bid and asking price of a shareWhere do you get price data from? The laborious way is to plot it yourself by looking in the newspaper every day which will usually quote the mid-price, or consulting Teletext or Ceefax. An easier way is to invest in a technical analysis software package, most of which come with historic data on all the FTSE companies, plus charting features and analysis tools.
