Post From: Cannot Find Candle Wick Width Settings

Can you tell me the exact menu path and exact setting names used to change:

1. Wick color
2. Wick width/thickness

for Candlestick Bars?


In the recent releases where the Graphics Settings have been separated and use the new style Sierra Chart windows, you will find these at the following and the 3 items below it:
Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Colors >> Chart >> Candlestick Up Outline

You can also use the search function at the top of the window to find this.

In the old-style window, it is named the same thing - you would have to scroll through the items to find it in the list.


Could you please explain:

1. What is the intended purpose of this study?
2. How is the Alert Condition field supposed to be configured?
3. Can this study be used only for visual buy/sell signals, or can it also generate actual automated trade entries?
4. Is there documentation or an example showing a complete working setup?

1. To be able to enter a trade based on alert condition that you setup.

2. Refer to the following:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning

3. Either

4. The documentation for this is here:
