Market Scan Settings
The Market Scan Settings control the visual display of the grid as well as its behavior.

- Text – foreground color of text within the grid
- Active Row – background color of the selected row
Prospector Colors
Allows you to specify the highlight colors used in the grid.
- High – color to highlight numbers / charts that are up
- Low – color to highlight numbers / charts that are down
- Normal – color for normal charts (normal text is colored with the Text color under Grid Colors, above)
Heading Text

Re-enable auto-sort in [n] seconds
Allows you to specify the seconds after which the auto-sort feature will resume when the grid has been paused (Control-T)
Show symbol count in caption
If checked, the number of symbols in the Market Scan grid will be displayed in the Market Scan window caption, e.g. "[208] Market Scan : GOOG (NQNM)"
Enable range limits
Allows you to specify a price range with which to filter the contents of the Market Scan. To use this filter, specify the beginning and ending limits to the price range and be sure to check the checkbox to enable the filter.
Alternate row colors
Allows you to specify different background colors for odd and even rows within the grid. If you wish to utilize this option, select your desired background colors for the odd and even rows and be sure to check the checkbox to enable this option.
Enable A/D Trade Frequency Alerts (Audio)
When this option is checked, you will receive audio alerts informing you of stocks that crossed your specified trade accelleration threshold.
- Activate column and select Grid Row on alert – if checked, upon receiving an alert the column that generated the alert will be highlighted and the stock the alert is for will be highlighted
- Trade Accelleration threshold – the trade accelleration required to generate and alert. Corresponds to the A.acc and D.acc columns in the grid.
- Symbol no-repeat delay – specifies the delay required before allowing another alert for the same stock (this helps filter unnecessary repeat alerts)
