Change the wick color of the candles

[PaulMohn]

Ok, I got it working by restarting NT8 (for some reason F5/recompiling doesn't work)

The lines 154 & 155 to customise the wicks only colors

I found we can control the colors from right click on the Chart/ Ctrl+F > Data Series > Select Chart Style and the customize the colors

Hello Everyone,

To change the color of the candle body, I use the code snippet:
BarBrush = Brushes.White;

To clarify this thread, is there a code snippet that we can insert to change the color of the candle wick?

I do not wish to change it manually and have it apply to all the bars with Chart Styles.

Thanks Irv

Hello,

Do you want the candle wicks to be all in white color (meaning the upper wick and the lower wick to both be in white on every candle) ?
If so, please download the Chart Style there:
[URL="https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/upperwickvslowerwickequivolume/"]https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...ickequivolume/[/URL]

Then to load the Chart Style:
Just simply click on the chartstyle menu on your chart and select 'UpperWickvsLowerWickEquiVolume' or set as the default chartstyle instead of candlesticks.
*Then right Click on the Chart and select DataSeries or press Ctrl+F to customize the Wicks colors.

Then to set the wicks color to white, select the white color in the Properties window for

Colors - Up Bar upper Wick
and
Colors - Up Bar lower Wick

and

Colors - Down Bar Upper Wick
and
Colors - Down Bar lower Wick

Please see attached ChangeWicksColors screenshot

Or what you mean is to change only some of the candles wicks colors (according to you own custom logic) to white in a custom indicator and not in a chart style? If so, I'm not sure that is possible for the wicks (if I remember correctly the wicks are only customisable with ChartStyle i.e. for all candles and not only some of them).

Hi PaulMohn,

Yes, this is correct. Change the color of [I]some[/I] candlesticks.

Just looking to make some candlesticks white so there is less data to see.

Thanks Irv

Hi PaulMohn,

This is really neat.
I'm curious, do you find it useful in your practices?

Hello
ij001
I'm still not sure it is possible with either ChartStyles or indicators. I can't find the post that mentioned it. I think you might find answers in the Indicator forum (it should be faster to ask a question there "How to color the wicks of some candles but not all with an Indicator or a ChartStyle".

It can help in many ways, mainly to contrast body color and opposite wick or other combinations. Do you have another use in mind?
