I'm having an issue with background color on my Time & Sales. I have the volume highlight set for any trades over 1,000 and have color row checked. I have this set in Graphics Settings - Global to be a dark green for "ask highlight" and dark red for "bid highlight". However, any trades over 1,000 are highlighted a dark blue background, which I don't even have a dark blue selected in Graphics Settings - Global for any time and sales options? Any ideas why this isn't highlighting with the correct colors?

Are you changing the color on the Graphics Settings - Chart when the option for Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings is checked, or vice versa (using the Graphics Settings - Global when you need to be using the Graphics Settings - Chart)?

I have those settings in Global....I didn't realize time & sales had it's own chart settings? So I have now highlighted the time and sales window and checked the use global settings, so we'll see if that works.

What does the time & sales "bid and ask records trades background" actually refer to? That's the only setting for the time and sales window that I don't quite understand??

In the Time and Sale settings there is an option for "Show Bid and Ask Records". These are updates to the Bid and Ask values that are not associated with a trade. Refer to the following:
Time and Sales Window: Show Bid and Ask Records
