hello....pls
I didn't know that, I studied the topic and I can't think of a method to do that in MT5.
The problem is that MT5 limits the width of a histogram, and we get this result:
The histogram never covers the candle fully.
This works a bit better on Bar Charts:
But still doesn't cover everything.
Maybe someone else can think of some method?
BTW, there is no problem with this on MT4...

{quote} thats the only problem bestT...i cant see any mq4 file for those indicator...pls help me anyway you can plss...thanks dear
1. Full Bullish Marubozu - Low = Open & High = Close (no wicks on both sides);
2. Full Bearish Marubozu - High = Open & Low = Close (no wicks on both sides);
3. Open Bullish Marubozu - Low = Open & High > Close (wick on top);
4. Open Bearish Marubozu - High = Open & Low < Close (wick on bottom);
5. Close Bullish Marubozu - High = Close & Low < Open (wick on bottom);
6. Close Bearish Marubozu - Low = Close & High > Open (wick on top);
The readings are absolute, meaning that where there is an "=" sign, it means that the values must be absolutely equal.
What we see on the chart may not be equal. We may think there is no wick, because we don't see a wick, but the values can still be different.
We can't see a 1 point wick, for example, especially on longer timeframes.
BTW, that's the whole problem with looking at charts!
What we see is not the reality.
And, even more - for example a true Marubozu Candle only means that in the given Candle timeframe the Candle Opened and Closed without any Wicks. And it means nothing more. Plus, you may see a Marubozu on a chart from your broker, and something else on a chart from another broker. And you may even see differences on two separate accounts at the same broker.
The only place where Japanese Candlestick Patterns can have any meaning at all are absolute value charts.
And we can only find those for base instruments on Stock Exchanges, and that only if there would be no manipulations like selling stocks which the seller doesn't have (borrowing stocks which don't exist).
So, I am sorry, but the whole idea of JCP does not comport to reality!
We could even construct our own chart plotting candles in such a way that all candles would be Marubozu!
That would be a timeframe independent chart, similar to a Renko chart.
So, if we can do that, if we can practically construct any chart we can think of, what do JCP mean?
The answer is simple - nothing.

{quote} Hi! I saw this indicator of yours and I like that it includes the custom timeframes also (i,e. 3 mins,8 hours, etc) I was wondering if it is possible to add an option to change the color of candle border as well (Please see attached image) Thanks a lot! {image}
The custom candles are plotted as Rectangle Objects. Rectangles can be either plotted as filled, or as boxes.
So, in order to get the visual effect of borders we would need to create another set of rectangles - one filled, the other one as boxes.
And the indicator already has the option to set the candles as filled, or as boxes.
And the indicator has a UniqueIdentifier:
Which means that you can use two or more instances on one chart, and set the second one to FilledCandles = false.
PS. I just noticed that the buttons were in conflict with multiple instances, so I fixed that:
You need to, also, change the "btn_text" parameter so that the buttons don't overwrite each other.
And position them so that they don't overlap!
Then you can get something like this:

{quote} alright besttraderE Still really greatfull...thanks for still doing something..pls just give me the mt5 indicator like that i will still manage..thanks dear
Thanks to the hint from @jeanlouie I was able to figure out something better:
However, I was not able to hide only the current bar.
IOW, what I did was hide the whole chart and plot a new chart starting from bar 1 (first closed).
When Hide current candle is set to false, the chart goes back to normal mode, but uses the colors defined in the indicator.
