2.5 General Preferences

To bring up the User Preferences window, go to File -> User Preferences or click on the toolbar icon. You will see the following window as Figure 2.5.1. The first tab is General Preferences. From here, you can customize the general display preference of Uptick, Downtick, Buy Message, Sell Message, Short Message, etc. You can also have your default layout auto-saved when you exit your OpenEx Pro environment. Once you are done customizing your General Preferences, click Apply for your change to take effect, or click on the blue arrow on the right hand side to restore to default value. The setting in General Preferences will have effect across all the windows inside OpenEx Pro.

Each application window in OpenEx also has its our User Preferences. You can navigator through them by clicking on different tabs, or you can bring up each individual User Preferences by right clicking in an empty area in the application windows and choose “User Preferences” in the drop-down menu (Figure 2.5.2). You will learn about how to use each individual application window’s User Preferences in the following sections.
