Candlestick Charting Colours

[RonObvious]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the colours of both the back and lay side of the 'body' in a candlestick chart?

I've read the user guide and it only seems possible to change the back side.

E.G. In the image below I can change the back side (blue) to any colour I want but there doesn't seem to be any option to change the lay side (white).

Ideally I'd like say the back side to be blue and the lay side to be red.

Am I missing something or is this the way it has to be?

You're misunderstanding a candlestick. The solid blue means the price (back, lay or last traded) has dropped (close lower than open) during the candlestick's time period and white means the price has risen (close higher than open).

PS. It'd still be nice to have solid red for down or even something with polka dots.

I understand what the candlestick indicates. My point is with some other trading software you have the option to change the colours so that instead of blue and white you can have red + blue, green + pink etc.....

From what I can gather by reading the user guide there is only an option to change the colour on the back side from blue to any other colour but no option to also change from white on the lay side

If your screenshot is a Bet Angel chart it only refers to a back price or a lay price or a last traded price. If the back price and the lay price were shown you would have two candlesticks, one on top of the other. I agree it would be useful to have solid blue and red candlesticks but the colour only refers to direction over time for one price, not back and lay.

In the chart above the blue indicates a back order and the white indicates a lay order
