Hello - getting started with Sierra Charts here, setting up my layouts. The DOM look I am going for is attached. I cannot figure out how to color the volume bars and get them to display like the attached image. The columns I have setup are: Current Traded Total Volume Bid Size/Buy Column Price Ask Size/Sell Column Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-06-13 16:24:41

The color settings are controlled in Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global (or Chart >> Graphics Settings, if using Chart specific colors). From there look for the following entries to change the colors of the volume bars for the Buy and Sell columns: - Chart DOM Bid Volume Bar - Chart DOM Ask Volume Bar You will find the documentation for these color settings starting here: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Bid Volume Bar The location of the volume bars is controlled on the Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns and follows the same position as the text. Except for the Buy and Sell columns, those are not controllable. Refer to the information here: Global Trade Settings Windows: Alignment (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

That's great - I'm able to put the volume bars in the middle, but it looks like this:

You should be able to modify your DOM to look the way you want given the knowledge you now have for how to change the colors and setup the volume bars. If you have another question, we are not sure what it is. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

I was looking to have the entire width of the column in blue on the Buy side, with a different background color where the size is printed inside the cells. I'll read the docs closely. Thank you, I appreciate your time.

To set the background for the entire column, refer to this section for the Bid Column: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Bid Column Background Then to set the background for the Bid Depth Text, refer to this setting: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Bid Depth Background For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
