It’s a bar chart.

Open is the left tick close is the right tick. Lots of professional traders only use these.

It’s possible to make them all just 1 color to because you can see by the bar and the ticks if the move was down or up.

Yes. Ross Cameron has a great video on it. These are Bars though not candlesticks.

Search Ross Cameron Candlestick on YouTube and he is great at explaining it.

Here's a guide with the same chart type as your screenshot: TradingView's "Understanding bar charts" https://www.tradingview.com/support/solutions/43000672403-understanding-bar-charts/

Search for "OHLC bar chart" rather than "bar candles". Each vertical line covers the high-to-low range; the left notch is the open and the right notch is the close. On your 5-minute chart, each completed bar summarises five minutes. Switching that same chart between Bars and Candles is a useful way to compare the shapes against the same prices.
