The Quote Board displays the Open (O), High (H), Low (L), Last (L), and Net Change value of the symbol for the current trading session (∆). Net Change is calculated as (yesterday's settlement last price from the previous close). Each cell in the table can report on a different symbol. Green text indicates that the last price traded was higher than the previous price, and an up arrow is displayed. If the last price traded was lower than the previous price, the text is red and the arrow points down. If there was no change from the last price, there will be no arrow. If trading has ended, a checkmark is displayed next to the Settle Price.
Red and green underlines indicate new low and new high, respectively. When a new tick arrives that is the highest trade in this trading session, the high price is underlined in green, and when a new low arrives, the low price is underlined in red.
In some instances, you could see a case where you have both a red and a green underlined price in one cell. This is a rare occurrence, but it happens when there is no instrument state available to allow the application to determine the open, high, and low so far in the day, and a single tick arrives. Then that tick is both the new high and the new low, so you see the same price underlined in red and green.
