Hi,
I'm using release 2068 64bit.
I encountered a bug when trying to customize graphics for "trade dom bid column background". Chart settings are not using global settings (seeting deactivated), and properties is enabled checked, though the color column is not displaying.
See attached file.

Anyone has the same ?
Thx

First thing - you are trying to change the Buy column, not the Bid Column. So you need to Enable and set the Color for the Trade DOM Buy Column Background.

Second, if that does not work, then ensure that you are opening the Graphics Settings window by selecting Chart >> Graphics Settings from the Trading DOM pulldown menus.

Hi John,
If you look at my screenshot you'll see I'm trying to set the Bid column not the buy column. Even with enabled checked, the background of the bid won't change (if I change the buy column it works for the buy column only). Separately it works as well, buy and bid column will have 2 columns and 2 backgrounds. But combined it doesn't work.
It doesn't work either from global graphic settings, or chart>>graphics settings with global deactivated.

Sorry, reference confusion.

What is displayed in the image you provided is a Bid Size/Buy Column. This has to be the case, as you MUST have a Buy column displayed in the Trade DOM, and since there is Market Depth displayed, this must be the combined column.

As such, the setting that will change the background for the entire column (like how you have the Ask/Sell column red) when you have the Bid Size/Buy Column is the Trade DOM Buy Column Background. We have verified this.

We found that the documentation was incorrect in what it was stating, so we have updated it, and you will find the information on this here:
