Hi - I'm charting ES future contracts (please see the screenshot link below). On 11/7/25 the price closed higher, but the chart is displaying the candle in a down-day color. I didn't notice any other candles doing this. I played around with session times, but that didn't fix it.

Check this setting:
Graphics Settings: Up/Down Coloring for OHLC Bars Based on Previous and Current Close (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other)

The body of a candlestick bar is always colored according to the relationship between the Open price and the Close price within the same bar. The option above, can be used to color, the high to low portion of the candlestick bar according to the relationship between the close and previous close.
