# Chart Setup

## How do I get my charts to look like Wick's?

Wick uses a combo of the Alpha Trend Suite & the HTF Suite on the upper pane of his chart. This allows him to clearly see the shaded Volatility Squeezes, as well as the Reversals from the Alpha Trend Suite. He then uses Alpha RSI, Alpha Thrust, and Alpha Volume on the lower panes of his charts. The sequence you add the upper pane indicators onto your chart will change which trend bars will be shown out of the HTF and Alpha Trend bars. Which ever bar type you want to see make sure to add it LAST. Wick likes to see the Alpha Trend bars and then the HTF shaded squeeze so he adds all the indicators then adds the Alpha Trend Suite last. Here is a screenshot of his indicator tree so you can see the sequence and what it looks like on the chart.

## How do I get my Alpha Trend bars to look like Wick's?

This is a common question we have after members get our Alpha Trend Suite. When you first apply the Alpha Trend the borders and wicks will be a different color than Wick's. The bar color itself will be the same, but you may want the same exact look with the borders and wicks. This is an easy fix. Let's go over the steps.

## Step 1: Right click your chart, and select "Settings"

## Step 2: Change the Border colors and the Wick colors

If you want your chart to look like Wick's charts on his tweets change both your borders and your wicks to yellow. This allows the candles to pop against the black background.
