Hi
1. I would like to see candlesticks with black bodies, but also would to have the traditionally colored bodies available
They would look like the hollows of the Graph Draw Type "CandleStick Bars Hollow", with black filling.
2. With the curent price on the chart, where is the switch to draw a line across at that price?
3. With a basic indicator, like MACD, is there a way to have that macd graph drawn only at bar close, and not have it update for every new price?

thanks

1. All of this can be controlled through the Graphics Settings window:

You may want to set the settings for an individual chart rather than globally.

2. Use this study:

3. No, this is not supported.

Regarding #1
Please confirm that being able to switch back and forth from a (custom made) single color, filled "hollow body" to the standard multicolored "Candlestick bar" cannot be done without going in and tweaking the Graphics settings at each switch.
I was hoping I could, for instance, define one of the Menu>Chart>Graph Draw Type's dropdown options, so a quick switch was possible.

The only way to do this, is to set the colors in the Graphics Settings individually for two different charts and then switch between those charts. Refer to:
