Let me make this clear I use a specific color for glbx and a different color for reg trading hours. I don't want universal color for all charts. Easy before, Running 2913 |

There is no direct support for setting the color of the Last Trade Price Box based on time nor has there ever been. Are you stating that this was easy to do before version 2913, and now you can not do it? The workaround for this is to use two copies of the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study to display the Last Price in the Price Ladder. Set the following for this study: - Output When Condition True: Use Input Data - Input Data: Last - Subgraphs >> Color Bar >> Draw Style: Subgraph Name and Values Labels Only - Subgraphs >> Color Bar >> Color: Set to the color you want for the particular session - Subgraphs >> Color Bar >> Value Label: Enabled and set to display in Right Side Values Scale You need to then set your Alert for the study to cover the times you want for the particular color. For instance, to color from 08:30 to 15:59:59 the alert condition would be the following: =AND(BARTIME >= TIME(09, 30, 00), BARTIME <= (15, 59, 59)) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

In a previous version all I had to do was click on graphic settings and go to last trade price box and change the color. Five seconds at the most. What you're showing is ridiculous. I'll have to find a work-around.

What exactly is your question then? What we gave you was a way to have the Last Trade Price Box automatically change color based on the time of day. Are you asking how to use the new color settings windows? If so, then the concept is not that different. If you are having a specific issue, then what is it?

It's the same process. Select "Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Colors >> Chart" and change the "Last Trade Price Box" color in that window. Whatever tab is last selected will be the one that shows up when you select the window again, so if you are changing that color a lot, then it should open to that same tab. Also, you can search for the "Last Trade Price Box" at the top of the window in order to find it faster.

Is that chart setup to use the chart specific Graphics Settings? Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts The above-referenced setting is now in "Chart >> Graphics Settings >> Graphics Settings for Chart >> Settings". Be sure to select the appropriate color settings depending on whether you are using Global Graphics, or Chart-Specific Graphics.
