Hi, I am customizing the Time and Sales window and wanted to know if there is a way to separate the text coloring logic from the background highlight logic. What I am trying to do is: Use text color to show trade aggression/type: Above Ask trades = dark green text At Ask trades = lighter/normal green text At Bid trades = lighter/normal red text Below Bid trades = dark red text Then separately, I want the background highlight to show trade size only. For example: 10+ contracts = light background highlight 20+ contracts = medium background highlight 50+ contracts = strong background highlight 100+ contracts = maximum background highlight The important part is that I do not want the highlight system to override the Above Ask / Below Bid text colors. Example: If a 50-lot trade prints Above Ask, I still want the text to remain dark green (Above Ask color), while also getting the larger-size background highlight. Same idea for Below Bid trades. Right now it seems like when the highlight condition triggers, the Highlight Text Color may override the normal trade-type text colors. So my questions are: Is it possible to create multiple separate volume highlight levels/backgrounds (10+, 20+, 50+, 100+, etc.) in the Time and Sales window? Is there a way to make the volume highlight affect only the background while preserving the original trade-type text colors? If this is not possible with the built-in settings, would this require ACSIL/custom development? Is there any existing ACSIL example or custom Time and Sales implementation that supports independent text color logic and background highlight logic? Thank you. |
