bar width preferences

[tijak]

Is it possible to have Line on Close always have bar width = 1 and Candlestick always have bar width = 4, for example. After switching data type the bar width can be changed with alt-arrow but I'd rather it just know my preferences. v 8.0.16.3

Hello tijak,

Unfortunately, the presets are saved for each bar type and not each chart style. These settings can be saved with the bar type selection.

I will forward a feature request on your behalf to allow for presets for chart styles. Once I have a tracking ID for this request I will post this in this thread.

Hello tijak,

I was incorrect about this.

Our development has pointed out that it is possible to save a preset for a chart style and this will include saving the bar width property.

Below is a link to a short video that demonstrates.

And a public link to the help guide where this is mentioned.

Thanks. That sets the default start width but what I was hoping for was being able to change a candlestick line with width 3 to a line on close with width 1 and back. Switching line type preserves the existing width.
