Hello, Is it possible to increase the space between the CandleStick Bars size 8? 6-7-8 bars size is same just the space is different. I like to increase the space in this size. |

Increasing the Bar Spacing increases the space between the bars. If you want to change the size of the bars themselves relative to the spacing, then refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Candlestick Width % (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you John, I can not Increase space between the Bars. Only Decrease width wider bar. NinjaTrader looks better with larger space I do not know how can I solve it at SierraChart. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-02-04 22:15:33

Is it possible to increase the space between the CandleStick Bars size 8? I am afraid not because 6-7-8 bars size is same just the space is different between the bars. If it possible please show me how can I do it.

We still do not understand. We are guessing that English is not your native language, therefore please post in your native language in a way that feels comfortable to you and we will use Google Translate. This typically works well. Here are some thoughts: You can increase the bar spacing as much as you want, up to a maximum of 1280 pixels, which is what the number in the bottom right is showing. In your images with bar spacing of 6, 7, and 8 we see differences in the number of bars that are displayed in the chart. The difference is going to be small, as it is only 1 pixel between each bar that you are adding.

I translated it. I want to increase the distance between candles. A size 8 candle is fine, but the candles are too close together. At size 7, the candle is the same width as size 8, but the distance between the candles is smaller. At size 9, the candle is already too wide. That's why I want to use a size 8 candle with more width between the candles. |

Thank you, Please show me which setting I can use to increase the distance between CandleStick Bars size 8? I can't find it. I'm afraid that's not possible at SierraChart. |

Please show me which setting I can use to increase the distance between CandleStick Bars size 8
Try this:1. Go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global >> Other tab: Set the Candlestick Width % to 30. Set the Default Chart Bar Spacing to 20 2. Go to Chart >> Reset Bar Size/Spacing/Scale 3. Drag the Size to 20. This will visually give you more space between candlesticks that appear to be similar to the former Size 8. There is no other way to do what you want. |

Dear Sawtooth, Thank you for your help. Not possible to increase the space between the CandleStick Bars, just decrease bar Width. That is the problem. If it is possible please forward my request to SC developers. Maybe they can fix it in the next update. I thought in the Scroll Wheel menu was the solution, but unfortunately it isn't either.

You decrease bar width, then increase bar spacing, then readjust display size. Visually you can get what you want, but it's a workaround. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-02-06 16:02:06

Those two settings seem to interact with each other in unexpected ways. It's a goofy workaround but that is as good as it gets. |

Go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global >> Colors and Widths tab >> Bar High/Low Down [and Bar High/Low Up]and set the Width to your requirements |
