How to make Hollow Body Candlesticks

Updated

Have you ever seen other traders use candlesticks that you can see through, but it keeps the same color and shape? On WealthCharts, you can create your own transparent/hollow body candlesticks!

The best way to do this is through the Configure Chart menu. Right-click anywhere on your chart, select Configure Chart, and then refer to the left side list. You are looking for the ticker and company name for what you have pulled up on your chart. Once you've clicked on that, you will see a Style and Advanced tab located at the top of your menu.

Selecting the Advanced tab will take you to a menu with a few settings. The first two options displayed are "Transparent Up candles" and "Transparent Down candles". Toggle these on, and you will see the candlesticks on your chart become transparent.

To visually see the two methods on how to complete this, please review the video below:
