So I saw a video of someone showing the Candle body overlay option but when I followed the directions, my candle body actually overlays all the info. But on his, it shows it nice and clean and slim in between the bid and ask. How do I make mine look like that instead? In the video, he doesnt change the size or anything, it just comes out looking like that from the beginning. Attached are screenshots of both my version and the videos version.

They are using two different items to get that. The first is the Numbers Bars option for "Open/Close Marker Style" of "Candlestick Body Outline". Refer to the following: Numbers Bars: Candlestick Body Outline The second is the "Study/Price Overlay", where they are overlaying the Main Price Graph of that specific chart itself. In this case, the Graph Draw Type is set to "Candlestick" and the "Candlestick Width" is set to something very narrow - such as 5% or 10%. You want to set the width in the Chart Graphics Settings and not globally. Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Candlestick Width % (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
