I want to have the outline of the candlesticks ( just the outline ) colored if it closes meeting certain parameters . For example if the candle closes higher than the last candles high color the outline red or higher than the last close color the outline firebrick etc.

In the new indicator description I entered these parameters. I then went to the end and compiled the indicator . It created a line plotted from bars closing below the low to bars closing closing above the high .

I'm new to using the wizard and figured someone else will know how to accomplish this task .

The indicator wizard cannot do this. Are you in the Strategy Wizard? I believe you can choose an action for coloring the candle's outline from the wizard. It is a matter of just selecting your conditions via the Condition Builder and then adding the action afterwards.
