Hello, I'm using Sierra Chart (MESZ26_FUT_CME[M], 1 Min chart, Trade Simulation Mode). I enabled "Display Entry/Exit Connecting Lines" in Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Order Fills, and a dotted white line now appears between the entry and exit fills. I have three questions: 1. Which settings control this line (visibility, style, width)? 2. Where do I change its color? I found "Chart Trading Order Fill Entry/Exit Connecting Lines Primary" and "Secondary" in Graphics Settings >> Colors, but I'm not sure which of these applies to the line I see, or where the line style and width are set. 3. How do I make profitable trades use one color and losing trades another? I set "Color Connecting Lines Based On Profit/Loss" to Yes. Does Primary apply to profit and Secondary to loss, or the other way around? Also, please confirm that the entry/exit arrow colors are set by Buy Entry, Buy Exit, Sell Entry and Sell Exit in Graphics Settings >> Colors >> Trading. Thank you. |

Refer to the following and the item below it for the connecting lines: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trading Order Fill Entry/Exit Connecting Lines Primary The Enty/Exit marker coloring is set by the items you specify. Refer to the following and 3 below it: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trading Order Fill Buy Entry Keep in mind that there are Global and Chart Specific graphic settings. So make sure you are changing items in the correct one for your chart(s). Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you John, that's what I needed. The Primary/Secondary lines and the Buy/Sell Entry/Exit colors are clear now. I'll make sure I'm changing the chart-specific settings and not only the global ones.
