Clearer candles

Hi guys,

When I am looking at an MT4 chart I have problems clearly seeing the wicks sometimes (bad eyes !!).

Is it possible for an indicator to overwrite the bars that MT4 produces but with thicker wicks.... just as this e-signal screen shows, where you could adjust the wick thickness - where setting 1 could be as MT4 is now and 2 would be thicker wicks like this screenshot?

I know it sounds a bit of a stupid request but I wish I could read the candles clearer and I don't really want to fork out for e-signal just for this reason !!

Thanks

Right from IBFX is an indie called fatwicks that does what you want. I have attached it for you. However, be aware that you will have tons and tons of objects drawn on your chart as every wick overlay is a rectangle.

Here is another more elegant solution to your request. Use the attached superwoodiecandles indie.

Set the first two colors to black with a 2 width and the next two to none with a 1 width. Make sure that your chart properties have chart on foreground selected. Set your chart colors as desired and presto, your chart looks just like eSignal with an indicator and it looks better than the fatwicks.

Of course the other advantage is that the indicator is pretty useful in its own right if you choose to use it. If you want to use it as intended, uncheck the chart on foreground setting, change the second two colors to limegreen and red with 4 width and choose a cci setting you like. I use 24 on my 1min charts as shown.
