Drawing Hollow Candlesticks

[DenMan]

I would like to create an indicator whose sole function is to draw hollow candlesticks that are outlined with green for up-bars, and outlined with red for down-bars. This seems so simple, yet I can’t seem to get it to work, for the bar colors set by the Data Series don’t get changed. Can you help me get on track?

Hello DenMan,
Thanks for writing in and I am happy to assist you.
Please try the following code

if (Close[0] >= Open[0])
	CandleOutlineColorSeries[0] = Color.Green;
else CandleOutlineColorSeries[0] = Color.Red;
				
BarColorSeries[0] = Color.Transparent;

One further question. When I include this indicator in my workspace, it puts it in a new panel. Is there code to always include this in the Data Series panel, or do I have to manually change that when the indicator is included?
