Combining DOM with Footprint

In the attached chartbook I am trying to format the DOM that is part of the footprint chart to look the same (or as close as possible) to the DOM with the grey background. One problem I have is the DOM with the footprint only allows me to see every quarter price indicator on the ladder if I stretch it really large, which makes the footprint hard to read. How do I reduce the space between each price amount on the ladder so I can see every quarter price ".25, .50, .75" without making stretching the footprint too much? |

Also, I don't see the order bar highlight the positions on the ladder when I buy or sell on the ladder - is it not on?

With regards to the prices, you can ask the system to display more information by setting the Scale Settings >> Scale Increment to the increment you want to see - for instance set this to 0.25. The scale may show you more information than previously, but it is still only going to show so much information depending on what the program determines can be viewed in the area, so you may not get every .25 increment even if you set to be so. Refer to the following: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Increment (Scale Settings) With regards to colors, you would have to change the entire background of the chart to Grey to get the Price Ladder to be the same grey as the Trading DOM. But you can set the other columns background colors separately, so you can have the Blue and Red for Buy and Sell in the Chart DOM. Refer to the information at the following: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Buy Column Background And with regards to the position on the Price Ladder, the Chart DOM does not display this or have a direct way to display the information. But, you can add the Trading: Position Average Price study to the chart and turn on the Value Label for the Right Side Values Scale in order to get the information into the Price Ladder. Just be aware that the coloring will not change as the Profit/Loss changes like the Position Line does. Also, if you want to only display the label and not the line in the chart, then set the Subgraph Draw Type to Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only - refer to the following: Chart Studies: Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_SUBGRAPH_NAME_AND_VALUE_LABELS_ONLY) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thanks; I made some of the changes. I have attached the updated chart and issues I am having: - Last price box is not highlighting the last price correctly in the middle column but instead in the Most Recent Bid Column - When I place trade on the Dom, is it possible for the trade price boxes (that show to the left of the chart, with entry, target and stop) to show up on the left of my Dom and not to the left of my Footprint? - How do I display the pulling/stacking totals in each respective pulling/stacking column? |

Last price box is not highlighting the last price correctly in the middle column but instead in the Most Recent Bid Column
We do not see any issue with this and the Last Trade Price Box is showing correctly based on the colors that you have set for it. In particular, you have a yellow background with the foreground text being set by the following options: - Chart DOM Last Price Text Ask Trade - Chart DOM Last Price Text Bid Trade Which are both set to black. Refer to the information here: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Last Price Text Bid Trade When I place trade on the Dom, is it possible for the trade price boxes (that show to the left of the chart, with entry, target and stop) to show up on the left of my Dom and not to the left of my Footprint?
Refer to the following three settings: Chart Settings: Align Order Cancel (X) Button to Right (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Chart Settings: Align Trade Drawings Text to Right (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ChartSettings.html#TradeDrawingsLeftAlignPercent How do I display the pulling/stacking totals in each respective pulling/stacking column?
You have the coloring for these items set to White, which is the same as your background, which is why you can not see it. Change the color of the Chart DOM Total/Percentage Text to the color you want to see the totals.
