Painting Wicks In ThinkOrSwim

[Trigun1127]

1.Is it possible to get an indicator where just the wicks are painted a different color and for it do so if they happen within a certain amount of user defined bars and a certain amount of user defined ticks.
2. This obviously would only apply for the Highs and Lows where the highs are compared to Highs and the Lows are compared to lows
3. and when all criteria are true the wicks are then painted.
4.Needs to usable for RTH futures no extended hours.

See picture for example

yes
could draw new candle bodies with addchart(), and use another addchart() to draw the wicks

option,
the main candles can be turned off.
(not sure if addchart() shapes will always cover up main candles.)
# turn off price bars
input HidePrice = YES;
HidePricePlot(HidePrice);

and for it do so if they happen within a certain amount of user defined bars and a certain amount of user defined ticks.

probably
if 2 conditions can be defined by formulas, then those 2 conditions evaluated by an if then, to do something

2. This obviously would only apply for the Highs and Lows where the highs are compared to Highs and the Lows are compared to lows

nothing is obvious, you haven't stated any rules. just because you want to change a wick color, doesn't mean the condition has anything to do with highs or lows.

3. and when all criteria are true the wicks are then painted.

yes

4. Needs to usable for RTH futures no extended hours.

i don't know about futures, but i assume it needs to be enabled between 2 times of the day.
