I am unable to get the wicks to change to the correct color for the black candles (picture provided). Is there a way to get ride of the orange wick? Also, this happens with the blue candles as well but since I want blue them blue it works out.

The color of the wicks in the Candlesticks are controlled by the following graphics settings:
- Bar High-Low Down
- Bar High-Low Up

Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Bar High-Low Down

Hello John,

thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my Bar High-Low Down and Bar High-Low up are both set to Black. Do you know of any other reasons that could cause this to happen?

Are these any kind of special bars that are from a study, such as "Heiken-Ashi"? Or are these Renko, or some other kind of bar? Or are these just standard Candlestick Bars?

When I initially downloaded this particular chart setup the chart was set to HCL Bar with blue for up and orange for down. However I went in to chart settings and changed to standard Candlestick Bars and adjust the colors to blue and black. But the wicks did not change.

Are you changing the correct colors - Chart specific versus Global? If you got this from someone at the colors were different from your typical colors, then most likely it is setup to use the Chart Specific colors (Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart).

Refer to the following regarding this:

Hello John,

Thank you for your response. All my changes were done on the Chart specific settings. Please let me know if you have any other possible solutions. I have gone through every category in the Graphic Setting Chart searching for anything with an orange color and changing it just to see if that would help, but it didn't.

In the Chart Specific graphics settings, is the option for "Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings" disabled (no check mark)?

If not, then you need to change the color settings in the Global Settings >> Graphics Settings.

If this still does not answer the issue, then please get us that chart in its own chartbook by following these instructions:

Hello John,

I was able to figure it out when trying to follow the directions you provided. I noticed when I deleted all the studies from the chart the candlestick wicks also changed. I was then able to narrow down which particular studies settings I needed to change. My apologize but I realized when I opened the ESU23-CME [CBV][M] settings that it was for the Heikin-Ashi. Unfortunately, I thought the Heikin-Ashi would be a part of the "graph draw types" section in the Chart tap. I am new to this platform so again sorry for not catching that when you initially asked, but I sincerely appreciate all of your help.

Thank you

No worries. It's understandable. Glad you got it figured out.
