Rule Highlights
Rule Highlights provide a visual aid to immediately determine, from the chart, which Trading Rule was responsible for which trade. They display a colour-coded disk around the chart bar, when the trade occurred.

The Rule Highlights settings dialog is accessed from the Chart Settings dialog. Use it to specify which colour represents which rule. The buttons on the left of the dialog are used to select a trading strategy from the currently selected trading specification. Its trading rules are then display in the middle of the dialog, where you can select a colour for each rule. Check a rule to turn its highlights on.
