  1. If someone uses takion and is very familiar with customizing and setting layout, please let me know..I need to create a layout, pretty basic. but I am lost-this seems like a really complicated system to sue (compared to lightspeed and other platforms I have used)..I need to created about 10 hotkeys and customize the level 2 with correct fonts and colors..if you could help me out pls let me know...Thank you!

    A couple basics -

    To make a key, go to settings - orders, and make the order route and settings you want. Then map it. Go to the "commands" tab, click the order you want to map on the right, then press the key you want to execute it twice. It should show up on the left as mapped.

    For level 2 fonts and colors, you mean you want the ecns and prices in set colors? I don't have the software in front of me but you can find a MM tab in "settings." If you poke around and get to the area about colors you type the ECN you want and click "add." After it adds it you right click the color and change it to whatever you color you want.

    One last thing is sometimes when there are two columns and you want to move something from left to right you have to right-click and drag, which is not exactly intuitive.

    Good luck!

    Never use Takion. It seems not that user-friendly, right?
