To see what I am trying to describe, open a chart...(any time frame should work but for this example I used 1 minute).....and set the chart style to "Candlestick".
Now open a second chart ...(use the same time frame as chart 1 above)....and set the chart style to "Open/Close".
Now play with the "Ctrl" + "up key" and/"downkey" and watch how the bars behave on each chart. At various points, use the "ALT" + "upkey" to shrink each chartstyle down to it's minimum size.
The 'candlestick' bars can be shrunk down nicely and tuck into neat, tiny bars...
The "open/close' chartstyle gets to some minimum, fatter, bar size and refuses to shrink down any more...
This causes....(for me at least)....a quite unhelpful overlap of 'fat bars' on the Open close chart style....as opposed to the smaller and neater 'shrunk' bar widths on the 'candlestick' chart style.
Perhaps this is the way these chartstyles are supposed to behave, but I would really prefer that the "open/close"....(and for that matter Renko)...chartstyles allowed the bar widths to shrink down like "candlestick" when I 'squeeze the chart' to get a longer time period look on the chart.
....(apologies if I did not explain this well....I didn't have time today to make a video)...
