Default colors for a bar type

[JoshDance]

In the data series properties for a chart, I can set defaults for a period type (minute, volume, tick, etc.). However, I do not see a way to change the default color for a bar type. So when I change the bar type from OHLC to something else, and then back to OHLC, the default Red and LightGreen must be changed. And since tabbing to the next field does not work, I have to use the mouse, and thus changing a simple bar type becomes quite a long process if it is done often.

Using a template is not an option because this also changes all indicators on the chart. I just would like to be able to set the default color for a bar type. Is this possible?

Once you have set the color and other parameters you require - right click any where in the data properties box and it will ask you to "Set as Default" -

Hope this helps.

As I mentioned in my original post, this says "Set Default for 'Minute' Period Type" ... I do not want to set defaults for a period type, but rather a bar type (or in the properties box "Chart style").

Apologies and No not as far as I am aware.

No need for apologies, thank you for replying in the first place. Maybe the NT guys have a definitive answer for this?

Josh,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this currently however I can make the suggestion to add this functionality to our development team on your behalf. Please let me know.

Yes definitely, please do, thank you Adam.
