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 |
