View Count: 860

A couple questions :

1. Where can I change the color of the font in the "Lats Price Box", up and down, that flashes on right Y-axis
2. How can I plot the H, L from X time period ago on the current time period?
3. Is it possible to shift a moving average forward or backward in time. For example, plot a simple moving average and shift forward so that the plot on today uses yesterday price as last price.

Thank you.

1. Go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global >> Last Trade Price Box.
Graphics Settings: Last Trade Price Box

2. Use the Daily OHLC study, and set the Reference Days Back to your requirement.

3. On the Subgraphs tab of the MA, set the Displacement to your requirement.

Thank you.

I had enabled all the Last Price Box option before I posted this. I have the last price box foreground as well as outline set to black. The text within the last price box is a bright red on downticks and a very light green, almost unreadable, on upticks. If I have set to black where are these colors being set?

I'll give #2, #3 and try.

The Last Trade Price Foreground sets the color of the text in the Last Trade Price Box.
Not sure how that can be made to change colors based on up/down ticks

What I am saying is that mine is actually changing based on up and down ticks. ;) Somewhere there must be another setting I am missing.

Excellent! Thank you. I did not think of checking Chart DOM options as I made the erroneous assumption that only applied to DOM charts.

Also thank you to TomGilb.
