Definitions
In plain terms
It is a compact market summary, but its meaning depends on which events were included and how the interval was built.
Technical
OHLCV inherits the full OHLC contract plus the volume unit, aggregation, correction, eligibility, adjustment, and missing-interval policies.
Scope
Two OHLCV datasets can disagree legitimately because their source, session, or eligibility rules differ.
Examples
- A governed dataset records ohlcv explicitly and preserves the source context needed to interpret it.
Common misconceptions
- OHLCV does not have one universal meaning or policy without its declared source, scope, and data contract.
