How to display pending orders/open position on Chart-DOM?

For quite a while I was using a standalone Trade-DOM; I am currently experimenting with a Chart-DOM. On the standalone Trading-DOM I am able to work orders directly on the DOM (click/drag to modify ETC). This is preferable as I am modifying the order very close to the price axis/P&L column. This is both precise and efficient.

Is there a way to enable this on the Chart-DOM?

Refer to the following:
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)

Chart Settings: Trade Drawing Left Align % (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Thanks, John! Something I noticed is that when the trade drawings are aligned-right there is a box on the DOM price ladder. However, when you align-left those boxes disappear? Is there any way to get them to show on the DOM even with drawings on left side of screen? This way you get the best of both: You will have a line across the screen intersecting with the price action, but also a box on the DOM price ladder to show you with precision where the order is moving.

Also, if you included an option where you could click and drag on both the chart and the DOM that would be absolutely stellar! The line on the chart is a great visualization to where your orders sit, but the flexibility/precision the DOM offers is top tier.

We are not understanding this request. Once you have a position open, you can modify the open orders on either the Chart or the Trading DOM. There should not be any issue with this. The only trick is that the Trading DOM has to have the same symbol, but if the orders are showing, then you can adjust them.

There is one setting that could affect this, which is "Trade >> Only Orders From Chart". If this is enabled, then you would not see the working orders on that chart. Refer to the following:
Trade Menu: Only Orders From Chart (Trade menu)

Sorry for the confusion. I am referring to the Chart DOM. With the "Align Trade Drawings Text to Right" setting enabled there are highlights on the DOM that show you where you average price is vs stops/targets. However, if you disable this setting so that you have the order lines running across the chart, you lose the highlights on the DOM. The highlights and the DOM are very useful, but so are the lines running across the chart. To have both would be fantastic.
