Hi,

I have been researching and digging through graphic setting but there does not seem to be setting i can change to modify color, width, how many digit to display for price column. same for bid/buy and ask/sell column.

Also, how do i change the color/background for last traded bid and ask size?

I am basically trying to re-create what i had in jigsaw since i am so used to it. I dont see an option to show momentum tail either (similar to jigsaw). it should be on the feature request.

Thank you in advanced.

to modify color, width, how many digit to display for price column

The color of the text in the Price column is controlled through the general Text Coloring. Refer to the information here:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text

The size and font is also controlled through the general Text Font controls. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text - (current font name)

The background color of the Price column is the same as the chart background and can not be controlled separately. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Chart Background

The Width of the price column can not be adjusted. It is always set to fit the size of the information displayed. If it is showing extra space for some reason (which sometimes happens if you have changed the Price Display Format) then you can recalculate the chart to get it to resize back - Chart >> Recalculate Chart.

The number of digits can be controlled by a couple of options. First is the Price Display Format. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Price Display Format (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

And then there is the setting for Limit Price Displayed to N Right Characters. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Limit Price Displayed to N Right Characters (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Display Items menu)

same for bid/buy and ask/sell column.

You can change all kinds of things for these columns. Refer to the settings starting here:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Buy Column Background

Also refer to the information here regarding the font for these columns:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Font Settings

Also, how do i change the color/background for last traded bid and ask size?

Refer to the information starting here (note that the Cumulative Last Size settings apply to the Last Size as well):
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Cumulative Last Size Text Bid Trade

Also, be aware of the following settings starting here:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Cumulative Last Size in Current Traded Total Volume (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)


I dont see an option to show momentum tail either (similar to jigsaw). it should be on the feature request.
