Please add my vote - and expand the scope of the request such that when removed it also disables its functionality - namely polling/data use per this thread

If NinjaTrader needs this button on here for business reasons - OK, we get that ... the data usage appears to be a lot less, thats great... But would it not be better to let the user decide if they want to hide the button and NinjaTrader can have it on by default? That solves your business needs and then lets these other users who don't want to see it there turn it off... wouldn't that be the fair compromise in all of that?

Also: The green color -- can that be changed in the skins xml file? if so, what line would i find that in?

Please also add my vote to have this Watch button feature removed, or at the very least a user-controlled option. Thank you.

Add my vote also. Can't believe the amount I time I wasted trying to work out why I was downloading so much data only to find there are two versions of 8.0.26.1 with one being much worse than the other. Restrict your software to be a trading platform only.

I am seriously thinking of switching platforms now.
With Kinetic logon failures, putting 200KBs data for some watch service,

I do realize that your business model is shifting but you can not be ignoring your customers so much.
