Today the candles of my 1mt charts stopped filling their bodies red or green depending whether up or down. the candles show the empty body outline but not the filling. I was busy most of the day today fixing errors in my alert manager, and I'm afraid I must have inadvertently clicked a wrong button somewhere resulting in my candles stopping filling their bodies.(to t he best of my recollection i did not notice this phenomenon earlier today) the candles started the day ok presumably. can you please steer me to where I could program the candles behavour ?Th 5 mt candles are filling OK.
I went back a couple of days wiih the same phenomrnom of not filling body colors.So this prblem may have affected all of the 1mt charts only, and may have started sometime today,but for some reason, I only noticed it late in the day. since the 5mt charts are printing fine.

tody, some of the 5mt charts are showing same thing as the 1 mt candles. namely no body fill. toay all I did is resetting the Global settings in Global/graphic section, all that is related to candles I reset to original.

Select one of the charts that is having the issue then select Chart >> Graph Draw Types and see what drawing style is selected in there. It sounds it is currently set to Candlestick Bars Hollow. If it is, then just select Candlestick Bars to get the traditional (filled) candlesticks.

If this is not the issue, then get us a screenshot of your chart so we can see what it looks like. Refer to the following for how to take a screenshot:

You need to check the color settings for the chart bars. Refer to:
Graphics Settings

And remove all of the studies from the chart because maybe a study is causing the problem with changing the bar colors.
