Today I am not able to open the trade window for the attached chart (most of the studies have been removed)by either CTRL_SHIFT_T or the trade window. It was working fine on Friday upgrading SC during the weekend seems to have affected it. Downgrading SC (to 1626) did not help. Please let me know what went wrong?

Also when I was trading live compared to simulation the trade window was having a different background colour (Black) I seem to have lost that ability, is there any option I can select.

I have managed to get the trade window, it was hidden behind the windows task bar.

Use Chart >> Reset Child Windows.

On the Trade Window menu (M/Menu) there is Color Same as Chart which you can enable for this.

One further question, referring to the attached video, the last size value on the DOM sometimes come with black background, selecting something on the DOM usually clears it. Is there any setting I can change? This has been behaving this way for a very long time.

There are six different color settings for the Last Size market data column. They are all documented starting here:
