Candle outline - Transparent

[TCust]

If change Candle outline on Transparent on Chart Style, we have not good bars on black color background, where Open = Close or Open - Close small difference.

Please fix @ChartStyles.cs

Welcome to our forums - I'm not sure I follow what you say here - if the background is black and you set the outline to transparent > you would see this effect as the background 'shines through' then...have you tried another outline color close to black...such as DarkGray?

Bertrand Hello

I see chart's without outline ( TradeStation, Omega - Candle Style ), if select Transparent, Doji on charts not correct, see 1.png

Ps. Some Trader's program's have option draw Outline or not. In Ninja we not have this option, and select Transparent Outline.

I'm not sure what exactly you compare to in TS, as I don't think they have transparent as option...if you work on a black backgound please use another outline color to achieve contrast in display.

Thanks,

i have noticed same problem ...has nothing to do with the background color....when candle outline color is set to trasparent all doji candles (same open-close price) are ploted like hi-low bars.....no open close information.....

[trader65]

see that chart please....it's a bug definitely

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

This is not a bug. Candle outline is what is used to draw dojis. Candle up/down color only fills in the the space between the candle outline. If you set candle outline to transparent and there is a doji, you have nothing that will show up on the chart because the outline is transparent and there is no space for the candle up/down colors to fill in.

You need change code, and draw dojis how Wicks algoritm, not outline.

Outline, is not proffessional and ergonomic.

Change

if (open == close)

on

if ( Math.Max(open, close) - Math.Min(open, close) <= 1 )
graphics.DrawLine(Pen2 !!!
and other change...

Compare chart

Candle outline controls the body of the candle.
Wicks control the wick. The wick color will not control the candle body outline.

Thank you for the suggestion. It is already on our feedback list.

Josh create please Option - Draw Outline or not.

All proff programs have this CQG, Esignal and other...

Ps. This ideal chart, but for advanced programmers, create for all user

Ps2. White Cross Hair lines, very bright on black background, please create Color for this lines.
