Can the intensity of the candle be changed and can the size of indicator window be downsized. Takes up to much of the chart window especially if multiple indicators are on the chart.

I am used to working with other charting software before switching to Sierra. The other software had the candle enclosed in a black line and the shadow was the same color. In Sierra, you can't see the outline of the candle because it is the same color as the candle. Can this be changed in Global graphics so its more like I am used too?

There are Graphics Settings color settings to set the Candlestick Up/Down Outline and you will also want to enable this option in Graphics Settings:
Graphics Settings: Color Candlestick High-Low Using the Outline Colors (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other)

I am using the trial version for 14 days. Two functions are not accessible.
1. Unable function on Candlesatick up outline/downlone outline.
2. Chart graphics settings for subgraph colors.

I am trying to change the wick color the same as the outline color.

You need to enable: Color Candlestick High-Low Using the Outline Colors in Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other.

In Global Settings >> Graphics Settings you will need to adjust these color settings:
Candlestick Up Outline
Candlestick Down Outline

I had already done with no luck. The direction indication that the enable needs to be checked but its not available.
What about question #2?

Ok, I got question #1 fixed. Thanks

I guess the question I have is:
When you open a new chart, how can a candlestick chart always be opened instead of a bar chart?
Simple question, but I can't do it.
