Default Different collor of Candle-Barchart

I am using black/black for barcharts and green/red for candlecharts. but with nt i always have to change that. Even for a quick look.

Or is this possible and I didnīt find it?

Thanks

Hello Unitrade,

Thank you for your post.

You can change the color for up/down bars in chart properties (right click in chart and select properties).

You can then save these settings as a chart template by right clicking and selecting Templates.

One more suggestion.

To be able to draw candles only red/green on a black background. I now have to outline them white and itīs not realy nice to look at.

Thanks

You can set the Candle outline color to black as well in the chart properties menu.

If I do this I dont see the shadows because NT is not able to draw the whole candle in one collor.

Have you tried using the 'CandleClear' and then changing the CandleOutline color in the Chart properties?
