Hello, could you please let me know the below settings? Please refer to the attachments for more details

1. How can I remove the yellow banner on my chart?
2. Where can I add my brokerage fee so that I see the NPL after the brokerage fee? Or my trading activity to reflect my P/L after deducting the brokerage fee?
3. How can I set my trading activity to automatically see today's trades with P/L every time I open it?
4. What is the setting to view the accurate amount as per my cursor movement for the SL or limit ribbons?
5. What is the setting for me to move my chart up and down with when I scroll horizontal on my laptop touchpad?
6. I have two contract trade setups with the same SL. Is there any way for me to view which SL belongs to which contract?
7. How can I set up auto trailing stop loss?
8. How can I set up keyboard shortcuts for my buy (stop / limit) and sell (stop / limit)?
9. The Y-axis range is often going to be user-defined, though automatic is selected in the settings. I had to reselect "Automatic" manually. How to fix it?
10. Is there any setting for me to view the volume info when I hover on any candle?

Thank you!

1. That is the "Chart Header". Refer to the following for how to adjust what is displayed in it:
Working With Charts: Region Data Line / Chart Header

2. Refer to the following regarding adding Commissions to the P/L:
Trade Activity Log: Use Commission

Chart Settings: Use Symbol Commission Setting in Trade List and Statistics Calculations (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

3. There is not a way to make the Trade Activity Log only show current day. You would have to manually adjust the Start Date in the DisplaySettings for this.

4. We are not understanding this question.

5. Refer to the following for how to move the chart up/down in general:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Interactive Scale Move - Move Scale Up and Down

We wonder if you are referring to the Hand Tool. In this case, refer to the following setting:
Chart Drawing Tools: Support Vertical Scaling/Movement With Hand Tool (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options)

6. No. Since these are at the same location, they are going to display as the same information for both contracts. So there is no differentiation between them.

7. Refer to the following order type, and look at the other order types to see if there is something else that may do what you want:
Order Types: Trailing Stop

8. Refer to the following for how to setup Keyboard Shortcuts. You would need to see if the specific order types you want are available as a Keyaboard Shortcut:
Global Settings Menu: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts (Global Settings menu)

9. We are not understanding the question.

10. Use the "Tool Values Window" (either full size or Compact). Refer to the following:
Chart Drawing Tools: Viewing Tool and Chart Data When Using Tools
