How to plot a candlestick chart

Hi,

I have a .csv file which contains stock information of Amazon e.g. date(30/10/2013), closePrice(361.08), volume(4500014), openPrice(362.62), highPrice(365), lowPrice(358.65). So there are about 2517 rows and 6 columns. First i want to read data from .csv file then plot a candlestick chart. So I have loaded my .csv file like this:

clear;
close all;

fid = fopen('Amazon.csv');
HDRS = textscan(fid,'%s %s %s %s %s %s',1, 'delimiter',',');
DATA = textscan(fid,'%s %f %f %f %f %f','delimiter',',');
fclose(fid);
outCell = cell(size(DATA{1},1), length(HDRS));
for i = 1:length(HDRS);
    if isnumeric(DATA{i});
        outCell(:,i) = num2cell(DATA{i});
    else
        outCell(:,i) = DATA{i};
    end
end
 candle (outCell{:,5}, outCell{:,6}, outCell{:,2}, outCell{:,4}, 'b', outCell{:,1}); 
but when running the file i get an error saying: Error using candle Too many input arguments. can someone help me i am sure matlab can read 2517X6 set of data to plot candlestick chart. 
Thanks.

Why are you converting the numeric data into arrays of cells?

I am using an array so my program can read date, i was having a problem reading date from .csv file so i used an array.

MATLAB Coder (the product you indicated you are using) is not able to generate code for anything involving graphics: it is only suitable for generating C or C++ code for numeric routines. MATLAB Coder is also, if I recall, unable to generate code when cell arrays are used.

The problems you would observe would be different than the message you indicate you saw, as the code generation process would fail long before you were able to run a call to candle()

The simplest explanation is that you are not using the MATLAB Coder product.

Is there anyways i can read data from a .csv file including the dates and plot a candlestick chart. This is what i did previously but i was getting an error so it converts first column but other columns it says 'Nan' so i decided to use the above method:

clear;
close all;
file = '/Users/Documents/MATLAB/Candlestick Chart/Amazon.csv';
fid = fopen(filename, 'r')
C = textscan(fid, '%s%f%f%f%f%f', 'Headerlines', 2);
fclose(fid)

Could you show a sample line from the file?

[Dipesh Ramesh]

 This is how my .csv file looks like, is this the sample you're looking for right? 
 date,       closePrice, volume,  openPrice, highPrice, lowPrice

I want to use these data to plot candlestick chart. The file have 2,500 rows and 6 columns
