Why does my candlechart look like this?

Hi

Does someone know why my candlechart look like this on Tradingview, where most candles are just small lines?

Tradingview may not be getting all the data. If they are, then the problem is more likely that the trading volume is so low that in any given minute there aren't enough trades to provide a "high", a "low", and so on. If there is only one trade per minute, or if there are more than one but they are all resolved at the same price, you will have a dot, or, in your case, a dash. Some of these trades amount to only 100 shares, which is very likely the only transaction completed during that minute.
