Sir,

I am attemtping to have:

1. black outlines for each candles over a soft grey background
2. green and red soft colors for each candles as filled colors

all this on a footprint set-up.

I do not succeed to reach this result.

Please take acknoledgement of the attached .CHT file.

Global settings > Graphic Settings

> Candle Stick Up Outline : black
> Candle Stick Down Fill : soft green
> Candle Stick Up Fill : black
> Candle Stick Down Fill : soft red

I must observ that the soft colors choosed never appear on the graph and come back to a deep red and green color by default.

There could be a transparency level feature on the graphic settings for the candles ?


Regards.

We had a look at this and we see what the problem is.

You are using the wrong Overlay study.

You need to use this one:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s100

And make sure this option is enabled for the study:
Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Use Chart Graphics Settings for Subgraph Colors

Sir,

I have used the Overlay Bar and choose the right chart number and region.

2 questions:

> according to the height i decide to choose on my graph( by control+ left mouse click on the right vertical tab values), my footprint and the candle are not 'synchronised'.

I might all the footprint datas to up or too down. How can I be sure that the candles and the values are placed perfectly ?


> how can i change the fill colors of the candles ? can I set up a level of transparency ?

If I want to have only the outlines of each candles and keep the fill the same color as background ?

I have modified the colors on Global Settings > Graphic Settings, but nothing occurs.


Thanks !

Based upon what you want to do, remove the Overlay study from the chart.

Follow the instructions here to open the Input Settings for the Numbers Bars study:
Numbers Bars: Input Settings for Numbers Bars

Set the Open and Close Marker Style to Candlestick Outline. Be sure to read the documentation for this particular Input setting to understand other related settings you need to set.
