Dear Support

I'm struggling with some DOM configurations and would be grateful for some help.

1) Where are the order settings to change "Format setting DOM prices.png" attached?

2) Where are the order settings to change "Format setting DOM Best BidOffer Text.png" attached?

3) I cannot recreate the simple "Volume By Price" study column as shown in the example "Format setting DOM Vol By Price Histogram" attached?

I realise you are very busy but any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Format Setting DOM Prices:
- Refer to the information at the following link and the following sections related to the Order Lines:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Trade DOM Color For Orders Being Inputted

Format setting DOM Best Bidoffer Text:
Graphics Settings: Last Trade Price Box Foreground

Format setting DOM Vol By Price Histogram:
- To change the color of the text displayed in the volume bars, refer to the following:
Volume By Price Study: Volume Numbers Text Color and Size (SG7)

Also look through the rest of that section if it is something else you are looking to change the color for.

John, that's really helpful I don't know how I missed some of them. Thank you.

Re-Orders:
I still can't seem to independently control the DOM Orders colour background and foreground/text, which are shown
in my attached "Format setting DOM Prices.png" though ... despite reading through it over and over.

Any specific thoughts on that?

Many thanks

When you are working with the Trading DOM, you need to be careful about which Graphics Settings you are using for that window - either the Chart Specific Graphics Settings or the Global Graphics Settings. Refer to the following for more information on these two concepts:
Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts

Therefore, if you select Chart >> Graphics Settings on the Trading DOM and the option for Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings is Enabled, then you either need to make your graphics changes in the Global Graphics Settings (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings) or disable the option and then change the graphics for that specific Trading DOM.

The colors for the order lines start at the item we referenced previously.
