| 7 | Mouse Follow | Ensures that the mouse remains in the row that contains a specific price. If this is enabled then resting the mouse pointer over a bid or offer price will cause the system to automatically move the mouse pointer when the market moves so that the mouse remains over the same price row. Having the mouse remain over the same price row lowers the risk of submitting an order at the incorrect price. |

|
| 9 | Prop Scale | The depth color bars in the Bid and Offer columns are scaled using this value. This provides a visual indication of the relative volume available in the market at different prices. Adjust this value to provide a meaningful ratio or bar width. The Bid and Offer colors will appear as a bar against their corresponding Background colors. |
|
| 10 | Total Trade Volume | If enabled the Total Trade Volume by Price column displays the total volume traded at each price for the current trading day. |
