misunderstand plain English or some critical points are missing. Could
someone please tell me in simple steps what this means:

-10 to +10 layers, though I could get by with 8. 5 are enough layers
for groups of plots, but not quite enough for my individual plots, so
I still have to break my plotting routines from my modular function
generation code. With 10 layers above and below, I could have enough
layers to make my functions truly modular.

understand what you mean by blend between the background. I changed
chart background colors and it did not change the color of the oval I

background when you create the object only and does not change it
dynamically after that.

good thing.

see some last support level for setting a study point, then I give the
scroll wheel a quick zip to get back to the right default position
again for trading the current bar. With this new mode, I zip right
past all the bars to a blank chart and am lost in white space.
