Ability to remove fill colour for rising candlesticks only.

I have a candlestick graph for a stock and am applying a trading system which changes the colour of the candlestick, wick and its border, however to distinguish between rising and falling candlesticks I want to remove
the fill on rising candlesticks only but leave the candlestick border and stick the same colour.I also only want to see the stick parts that are outside the body of the candle rather than seeing the stick in the body when the colour is set to transparent Can I do this in a script or c# ?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you are applying:
UpdateColor(1, colorTransparent);

After the "PlotCandleStick" line.

There is no way to make the stick disappear inside the body. What you can do is set the color to the same color as the background. White for example instead of Transparent.

Thanks for your response,

In that case is there a function to change the colour of the stick and the border of the candle, the only function that I can see is the UpdateColor function, is there similar to UpdateColorStick or UpdateColorBorder ?, these seem to be made available as properties in the Chart Settings but I cannot find them as functions ?

Thanks.

You cannot change that programmatically, only in "Chart Settings".
