Hello, I can’t figure out how to color the wicks for candle sticks in the body color. For example, red wicks for down candles and green for up candles. I can only specify one wick color for all candles. I must be missing something simple, seems like a basic setting for candlestick coloring.

Thanks, john

Hi John,

https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjatrader-8/platform-technical-support-aa/92443-nt8-really-need-to-have-separate-outline-and-wick-colors-for-up-down-candlestick-bars?t=92428

In the thread there's a link that should point you to what you need. I have not opened it but seems to be what you're after.
