Level 2 color settings?

[Ekhall 0]

 

I downloaded the sample desktop files but it didn't seem to include the color settings for the level 2. I've come to really prefer Andrew's color settings with the red-grey-white. Is it possible to get a screenshot of that config if they're not included in the desktop settings?

I use Andrew's settings without the red, just a pure grey scale. It's one less colour for my brain to process. Please see below for the RGB values.

 

Andrew's Tier Colours:

Group 0: 255,255,255

Group 1: 247,239,239

Group 2: 222,222,222

Group 3: 240,198,198

Group 4: 206,206,206

Group 5: 231,173,173

Group 6: 181,181,181

Group 7: 231,148,148

 

My Tier Colours:

Group 0: 255,255,255

Group 1: 230,230,230

Group 2: 205,205,205

Group 3: 180,180,180

Group 4: 155,155,155

Group 5: 130,130,130

Group 6: 105,105,105

Group 7: 80,80,80

 

For reference, here is how to change the L2 Tier Color in DAS:

Right-click Montage > Level 2 Config

Click the Color Group X > Define Custom Colors

Enter RGB values in green boxes below:

Wonderful - it was those color codes I was looking for. Thanks Robert!

What color does Group 0 get?

Changed Level 2 colors, but underneath my buttons still bright yellow, Shrt is red, CXL and RPL are yellow, and BUY is green... Anyone know where those get modified?

I just corrected the original post with correct values for Groups 0 through 7.

 

Here is how to change the button colours:

Hi Robert,

 

What's the font on the montage?

Mine looks so bad after I change the color.

Please help me to better understand the purpose of the different colors and tier groups.  Also can you please explain the purpose of the color ribbon or bar that runs directly above the Bid/Ask prices?  I've been searching and can't seem to find anyone that understands the purpose well enough to explain it to others. Thanks so much!

I think this is just personal preference. At least it is for me. I only highlight the top bid and ask. All other prices below are one color so it's all easy to read and not too much flickering. It's good to set it up so it's easy on your eyes. This is what mine looks like in Lightspeed.

Hi All,

I set the color's for Level 2 like Andrew has them. My question is: is there anything else that needs to be changed on the config page so that each color has a meaning? I looked on the DAS manual and it says:

Tier Color Grouping –You may opt to group price ranges by certain colors instead of assigning them to every change in price level.For example, if .0625 is entered, color grouping would include all quotes within $.0625, or what was formerly a 16th.

Does this mean I have to set a price range for each color?

I also like the RTraders setup so RTrader if you are around can you tell me your RGB values and/or how do you highlight bid and ask. I know you said put the screenshot from Lighspeed but can we do this in DAS? I don't see how....

Thanks everyone
