Question about changing the appearance of a candle

[mbesha]

Hi. I would like to create a simple indicator that changes the appearance of a candle, especially the width of the body outline and the width of the candle wick when a certain condition is met (say when it is a doji). I searched the help guides but I could not find any information on how I can do this from within my script. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hello mbesha,

Thank you for your note.

It would not be possible to change the width of the body of one specific candle however I will submit a feature request for this.

You could change its color, add a drawing object, or use OnRender to draw a line over the wick to give it the appearance of a ticker candle.
