Hello,

I'd like to ideally have a way to visually confirm that Order Allocation is enabled, without having to go in to the Chart Trade Window sub-menus. In the Chart graphic settings, we can change for example the Chart Trade Window Background for both Live and Simulation. Is there a possibility here of having an option also for a background color to be set when Live and Order Allocation is enabled?

I have looked through Order Allocation to Trade Accounts and cannot find an option that would allow me to have some kind of visual confirmation that this is enabled.

My only solution -- so far -- is to duplicate my chartbook setup and use color backgrounds in the version that has Order Allocation enabled.

Thanks.

In the next release, there will be a visual indication of this through a new Control Bar button which controls the state of the Trade Order Allocation feature. It will have a pushed in state when this option is enabled for the active chart.
