Here's one out of left field: on the TS platform what are the white tape readings? Red and Green are self explanatory but whats the white one? Also whats the highlighted price signify?
Nick,

The white orders are orders between the bid and ask. Only happens when bid and ask are more that one tick apart.

The prints with the bright red and green foregrounds are trades below the bid or above the ask, respectively.

The prints with red and green backgrounds are supposed to show some kind of trend, but to me are just a distraction. You can turn that off on TS and I recommend doing so.
