Re-arranging symbols using drag-and-drop

Bid/ask trend indicator

Version 5.90 adds Bid/Ask trend - a graphical indicator showing the direction of 10 most recent changes in real-time bid/ask prices. The right-most box is most recent and as new bid/ask quotes arrive they are shifted to the left side. Color coding is as follows:

• Dark green: bid > previous bid OR ask > previous ask
• Bright green: bid > previous bid AND ask > previous ask
• Dark red: bid < previous bid OR ask < previous ask
• Bright red: bid < previous bid AND ask < previous ask
• Red / Green box: ask < previous ask AND bid > previous bid
• Green / Red box: ask > previous ask AND bid < previous bid

If bid/ask prices don't change there is no new box. NOTE: This column works only if there are real-time quotes streaming (markets are open)
