Sierra Charts:
It would be great if the THICKNESS of candlestick WICKS could be adjusted so they are THICKER or THINNER (the same way candle up/down Outlines can be adjusted).
This would make WICKS easier to spot - especially when the wicks are only 1-2 ticks in length

You can change the wick thickness using these graphics settings:

Bar High-Low Down - Graphics Settings: Bar High-Low Down
Bar High-Low Up - Graphics Settings: Bar High-Low Up

Hi, I was hoping for an answer for this, but I found that the Graphics Settings: Bar High-Low Down and Bar High-Low Up are not making the wicks thicker. And I am not using the Global Settings.

Anyone with ideas?

Thanks,
Carl

The "Bar High-Low Down" and "Bar High-Low Up" graphics settings will change the width of the wick for a Candlestick Bar when you change the Width setting.

If this is not working, then the first thing to look at is whether you are using the correct Graphics Settings - Global or Chart, and be sure to change the appropriate one. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings

If the above still does not resolve it, then what is the "Graph Draw Type" set to for your chart.

Hi John:

Thanks, I had to use the Global Settings to change the wicks for the particular chart I needed to change.

Thanks,
Carl
