Does the "Transparent Trade Drawings" option still work in such a way that the "Chart Trading Order" colors are used for the text instead of the background? (Chart Settings: Transparent Trade Drawings (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)) When I enable the option, the label background disappears, and the text color remains the one defined in "Chart Trading Order Line Text Color." I am currently using version 2945. |

We are not really understanding what you are asking. The one thing we want to point out is that you can define whether the order/position lines are colored based on Profit/Loss or on Order Type. Refer to the following: Global Trade Settings Windows: Coloring Of Position Line Based On (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Chart Position Line) And then the particular colors are defined in the Graphics Setting. For the Position, the following and the one below it are the settings: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trading Position Line Long/Profit For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

To clarify: if I set "Transparent Trade Drawings" to "No," the colors for Buy Limit, etc., are used as the background. If I set "Transparent Trade Drawings" to "Yes," the background is hidden, and only the "Chart Trading Order Line Text Color" is used. I had interpreted the entry at Chart Settings: Transparent Trade Drawings (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) to mean that the "Transparent Trade Drawings" setting essentially reverses the color selection, using the various settings for "Chart Trading Order Line Buy/Sell Limit/Stop" for the text color instead.

We see where the confusion is coming from. In general, what you expected to happen should. But, there is one condition where this would not be case. If the "Chart Trading Order Line Text Color" is not set to be exactly the same as the "Chart Background", then the "Chart Trading Order Line Text Color" is used for the coloring of the Order Line text instead of the coloring based on the order type. There must be some small difference in these values for your chart. Check the color setting for the "Chart Background" and make sure the "Chart Trading Order Line Text Color" is exactly the same. Then the other colors will get utilized. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
