Dear Global Investor,
Thank you for explaining how would you like to modify candlestick chart look.
There is absolutely no problem in having this implemented
in next beta version that will be available tommorrow.
If I can help you with any other problem please let me know.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
