 Hello, with me the candles look very dirty, often 2 colors. Can you help?

Actually, Michael is right- the candles do not like in the pictures, some of them have red body and green bar, some are green with red bars, which is unnecessary and quite confusing.  To simplify the image I put this indicator on a line chart.  Now the chart is easy to read and I am giving 5 stars for this indicator.  Thanks.

 Hallo, bei mir sieht man die Kerzen sehr dreckig aus, oft 2 Farben. Kannst du helfen?

For the MT4 settings, go to the menu "Card functions" at the bottom of "Properties" and set the color of the bars to "None".

You then see the candles only from the indicator without the normal bars in the background.

 

Hi there,

I do like this indicator quite a bit. However, is it possible to create a histogram version of it?

Thanks.
