I am trying to overlay 5 min chart on 2000 tick chart, but the wicks of the 5 min bar are not showing in different color on 2000 tick chart. It is just printing a rectangle with showing the wicks. I noticed that in subgraph Open and last are set to ignore by default which I believe if enable may give the desired result.

In other words, I just want to have wick in different color. Please see if you can somehow do it shall be highly regarded.

This particular Input does not support what you want to do:
Study/Price Overlay Study: Use Multicolumn Rectangle Style for Price Bars

You need to set it to No.

And then you can change the colors as you want:

I am doing the same, but they are not showing the wicks in different color. I want to see the wicks in different color.

The secondary color for the Open and Low set the color for the wicks in the Candlesticks. Make sure the options for Use Colors from Source Study and Use MultiColumn Rectangle Style for Price Bars are both set to No in the Study/Price Overlay study, in order to see the wicks and to be able to change the color.

Sierra Chart does not have a way to overlay from a higher timeframe to a lower one and show a "Large" candlestick covering the lower timeframe candlesticks. The option for "Use MultiColumn Rectangle Style for Price Bars" is the closest you can get to this.

Otherwise, you get what you are seeing - multiple candlesticks at each time point on the lower timeframe.
