1. There is not a way to change this. Each service uses a specific symbology, and the symbol of ESH26 actually means something to another service. Therefore, you will see the symbol as it is setup for the service you are connected to.

2. That line (the Chart Header) uses the "Chart Text" color from the Graphics Settings. So you can change it, but it will change a number of other items in the chart as well. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text

1. You can display the total open quantity for a single chart (i.e. symbol) by using the "Trading: Position Quantity" study. Refer to the following:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies

If you want to display this as something more prominent, then you can use the "Text Display for Study" study. Refer to the following:
Text Display For Study

There is not a Control Bar option to display something like this.

If you are wanting something else, then we would more information on what you are wanting.

2. There is no control bar button for this. The current quantity selected is displayed in the upper left of the chart in the Chart Trade Mode Box.

3. It is not possible to set the quantity you want to trade to "0". It must be at least "1". You can setup buttons to select a specific quantity which are preset on the Trade Window - see the Control Bar Buttons for "Order Quantity Button 1" through "Order Quantity Button 6".

You can also setup Control Bar buttons for different Trade Configurations which have different quantities associated with them. Refer to the following:
