There is no built in way to do this.

I guess you could create a RealCode Indicator and Plot it in Black with a Candlestick Plot Style (without Solid Body checked). You would need to be careful to not use this as a Parent Indicator (as its Open and Close would be reversed for many Bars).

If you Drag and Drop it to the Price History and Overlay it with Price History (to get it in the same Pane and Scale), it should create Candle outlines in Black overtop of the Candles you are Plotting for Price History (you'd probably want to be using the Colored Candles Paint Scheme and have Solid Candles checked for Price History).

'|******************************************************************
HighValue = Price.High
LowValue = Price.Low
If Price.Last > Price.Open Then
    OpenValue = Price.Open
    Plot = Price.Last
Else
    OpenValue = Price.Last
    Plot = Price.Open
End If

Hey Bruce I have just done this and it works almost perfectly. The down bars of this indicator are slightly smaller on the right and bottom of the down bars of the price history. Is there any way you could tweek the real code to make them line up perfectly? Thanks

Unfortunately that is probably as good as it is going to get. There is no way to adjust where the right edge of the candle is plotted and the only way to adjust where the bottom of the candle is plotted is to subtract some arbitrary amount from the being plotted. So:

    OpenValue = Price.Last

Would become something like:

    OpenValue = Price.Last - .01

On the third to last line.

The problem is that the dollar value of the offset to account for the difference is going to vary based on scroll and zoom. There is no way to determine the correct amount to subtract.

It is not possible to create TC2000 version 12's Price at Volume indicator in StockFinder as the plot style is not available.
