I got used to using the center-click of the mouse button in 6.5 to quickly pop-up the mini databox, and I really like this feature of NinjaTrader.
I like that with 7.0 additional indicator plot information is now available in the mini databox.
However, I'm having trouble with the abbreviations in 7.0.
It just makes it slower for me to use, as I find it much faster to scan for "Open", "Close", etc. than to look for "O:", "C:", etc. That just seems to be the way that my visual pattern recognition works.
Also, since some of the labels for indicator values can be quite a bit wider than the single character abbreviations (see attachment), and since the width of the mini data box has actually increased, there should be plenty of horizontal room for viewing the full name of the value (Open, Close, High, Low) instead of just displaying an abbreviation (O,C,H,L).
So, for these reasons, could we please go back to using the full labels for these values?
I realize that some people may be used to referring to these values as O/C/H/L, so perhaps if the first character of each of these words were displayed as bolded (e.g., Open, Close, High, Low), that might help their pattern recogition, and we'd have the best of both worlds.
