coops,
When I use prophetfinance's charts, the MA overlays on the price graphs are different colors. The first MA I add always shows up as blue, the second is red, etc. Don't know why you are having trouble with all white MAs. You might ask Terri, who works at the Help desk of prophetfinance. She is great about responding.
Her email address is:

I don't know whether prophetfinance provides futures feeds. Terri might be able to answer this question, too.
By the way, I have some control over the color of each MA based on the order of adding it to the chart. This is important to me because I use a 5-min MA that follows the prices very closely. When I add the 5-min MA first, it takes on the blue color. It is hard for me to see the blue MA line against the black price bars or candlesticks. I overcome this problem by adding the 5-min MA second, that is, after adding another MA. That way the 5-min MA takes on the red color.
Thanks for your response. I had no idea that prophet's charts are so similar to medved quotetrader. I too would welcome more comments from others -- positive or negative.
