Hello, I’m noticing that the Recent Bid / Recent Ask columns in the DOM are being cleared sooner than expected when cross-trading is enabled. Details: * This occurs when Use As Trade Only Symbol is enabled for NQ/MNQ (or any other mini/micro) and used as a Trade and Current Quote Symbol. * The clearing happens after a short time (exact duration seems setup-dependent). * Disabling *Use As Trade Only Symbol* prevents the issue. * Not using cumulative bid/ask columns. Is this behavior expected when cross-trading is enabled? If so, is there any way to extend how long recent bid/ask values persist in this configuration? Without Use As Trade Only Symbol, disabled: https://i.ibb.co/TqDzmdQh/2025-12-19-11-01-04.gif With Use As Trade Only Symbol enabled: https://i.ibb.co/dw3ZBjFk/2025-12-19-11-02-41.gif As you can see, when cross-trading is enabled the recent bid/asks get cleared after x time as opposite as without it. Thanks. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-19 10:07:17

Please check all the charts that you have that have the main symbol as NQ and see if that setting is set to a non-zero value in any of them. Any one of them having it set will cause this to occur in all charts.
