Would it be possible to give us control of the color and thickness of the candlestick wick apart from the body outline color? The reason being that I want to have the wick very faint but the body strong so I have close to a candlestick body only chart yet I can see when PA hits a trend line or S&R with the wick whereas body only shows a gap and doesn't show PA respecting the level?

Bots can play havoc with wicks when fighting each other for price discovery and body only charts are great for seeing though the noise, but in normal periods it's important to have the wicks visible. Having faint wicks would go a long way to filtering noise while retaining the important highs and lows.

Go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other tab and uncheck 'Color Candlestick High-Low Using the Outline Colors'
Then go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Colors and Chart Font tab >> Bar High-Low Down / Bar High-Low Up to set width and color of the wicks.

You may have to go to Chart>>Graphics Settings, if you have Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings unchecked.
