is there a way to change the chart trader background for a real money account?

[joemiller]

''tools/options/trading'' facilitates changing chart trader background from default to another color [like red] when trading a simulation account... but it does not work for real money account mode?

is there a way to change the chart trader background from default to another color when
trading a real money account?

Hello joemiller,


Thank you for your post.


When selecting a live account in NinjaTrader 8, the background of Chart Trader will change to the Skin Color set in Tools> Options> General > Skin.



You could modify the skin template to adjust the color. More information on working with skins can be found in our help guide here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...lightsub=skins

apparently, when selecting a live account, the color background of Chart Trader is limited to five shades of slate grey.

please request ninja programming to make chart trader color background control work exactly the same for live accounts as for simulated accounts.
