I saw another user requested you look at the active state of the chart tabs since when they are linked/colored they do not change and are hard to quickly see which tab belongs to the active chart if you have many charts up (like the unlinked tabs do now) which I thought was a great idea. In a similar vein, I've attached an image of what for me is a frequent issue.

When changing number of contracts I will often forget what number of contracts I used last and enter a new position with the wrong number of contracts, only to notice it after I'm in a position. Glancing at the Trade Window does nothing for me as the depressed state of any of these buttons is VERY difficult to easily see. This obviously causes issues for me and in a perfect world I'd ALWAYS check that setting more carefully but during active trading I may not. Allowing the depressed state of the button to be another color would be a great reminder at a quick glance of what settings are currently active and more importantly help prevent potentially expensive trading errors.

Thanks for considering this suggestion.

I know you don't want Thank You posts but I wanted to post an example of this change for other users who may not be aware that you've implemented this change.

HUGE difference for me, and hopefully this will help other users also.

For those unfamiliar, they added Chart Trade Window Selected Quantity Button Color to the Graphic Settings selections! See Attached

THANK YOU for your quick response and implementation of this solution SC Engineering Support!!
