I was wondering if theres a study to add on to have the best bid and ask, that shows the number of lots transacted.
ive included a shot of another platform that has it

There is not a study to do this, but you can setup the DOM to highlight the Best Bid and Best Ask in the Recent Bid/Ask columns.

First, make sure you have the Recent Bid Volume and Recent Ask Volume columns displayed.

Then be sure the following Graphics Settings items do NOT have the Enable option enabled (i.e. make sure there is NOT a checkmark for Enable):
- Chart DOM Last Traded Recent Bid Volume Background
- Chart DOM Last Traded Recent Ask Volume Background
- Chart DOM Last Traded Recent Bid Volume Text
- Chart DOM Last Traded Recent Ask Volume Text

Then be sure the following Graphics Settings items DO have the Enable option enabled (i.e. make sure there is a checkmark for Enable):
- Chart DOM Recent Bid Best Bid Background
- Chart DOM Recent Ask Best Ask Background

With regards to the instructions above, I have read through the documentation multiple times and am still slightly unclear.

Could you please explain the difference between these two? They are both highlighting features but I'm unclear exactly how they relate.
- Chart DOM Last Traded Recent Bid Volume Background
- Chart DOM Recent Bid Best Bid Background

Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

- Chart DOM Last Traded Recent Bid Volume Background
This will highlight the Bid volume at the price of the last trade in the "Recent Bid" column.

- Chart DOM Recent Bid Best Bid Background
This will highlight the Best Bid price when there is a trade at that price.

The difference is that the "Last Traded Recent Bid Volume Background" may not be at the best bid price. Most of the time, it will be, but it could move off it. The "Recent Bid Best Bid" is always displayed at the Best Bid price when there is a trade at that level.
