Hello,
Is there a way for MC to shorten the "Open" and "Close" ticks on the OHLC bars or make it possible for the user to set them at their desired length? This may seem trivial but if you look at the attached charts you will see what I mean. The open and close ticks are so long in MC that they connect, or at times overlapp, the bars next to them. This makes it very difficult to read the bars. The one chart is of MC and the other is one that has smaller open and close ticks. For the visual trader, this makes a big difference.
Thanks for the consideration

The bar spacing can be increased/decreased using the "Control" toolbar (MultiCharts->View->Toolbars->Control).
You can increase/decrease the bar width in Format->Instrument->Format->Style tab.
Unfortunately there is no way to set the spacing manually.

Re: OHLC tick length
There is no such feature to change the bar's OHLC length.

Re: OHLC tick length
Hello Iso,Is it possible for you guys to shorten (or make it user defined) the "Open" and "Close" ticks on the OHLC bars in a future release? Thanks
We will make "Open" and "Close" ticks on the OHLC bars shorter in MultiCharts 8.7 Release.

Re: OHLC tick length
The default tick length has been reduced. This improvement is not optional.
Probably your Bar Spacing value is too small and the bars are too much compressed.

Yes, I did. I have also replied to your posts:
