Customize chart window title bar in CQG running on Windows 10
CQG on Windows 7 (via Control Panel>Personalization>Window Color) allows chart windows in a page to have:
• customizable title bar size
• customizable title bar fonts
• customizable colors.It would be great to have this capability for CQG on Windows 10 as well if you plan to stop supporting Windows 7.

Add historical bid and ask trade volume.
Please add a data point for volume transacted at the best bid and the volume transacted at the best offer. I create custom studies based on these values but they are not useful when the data clears whenever I change page. Even 24-48 hours of data would be much better than currently offered.

Scaling Charts
When scaling the charts bigger (candle charts for example), also the space between the candles is scaling bigger and is losing lots of space on the chart. It would be great if you could scale the space between the candles independently to save space on the chart. Thanks!

Horizontal line which starts at various time points
To start, you will want to make use of the Hour(@) and Minute(@) functions to get the current time. You will multiply the Hour(@) by 60 and add it to the minute to get the current day's time integer. In a custom study, you will create four parameters for the example you propose, such as "hour1," "minute1," "hour2," and "minute2."
Then you might code the formula as follows:
a1:= Hour(@)60 + Minute(@);
b1:= hour2 *60 + minute2;
c1:= hour160 + minute1;
d1:= (Close(@),D)[-1];
e1:= a1 xabove b1;
price:= IF(a1 >=b1, g1, f2);
f1:= a1 xabove c1;

Group Alerts
Let's say I create a family of say ten alerts for market EP. Is there an easy way for me to copy this family of alerts and use it for a new market ENQ, without having to manually enter each alert? The copy feature does not allow this.
