Sergio66,

Maybe this is what your image is from, but you know you can do this with a custom indicator, right? The only difference is that it colors the wicks too, not just the outlines. NT doesn't have a separate setting for the wicks.

You simply create an indicator and in the OnBarUpdate method you set CandleOutlineColor to whatever you want. Something like this:

Code:
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (Close[0]>Open[0])
                CandleOutlineColor = Color.Lime;
            if (Close[0]<Open[0])
                CandleOutlineColor = Color.OrangeRed;
            if (Close[0]==Open[0])
                CandleOutlineColor = Color.White;
        }

Indicator attached. Please note that this is a very simple no-frills candle coloring indicator. It could have many many improvements, but it serves my purposes and that's why I wrote it.
