Post From: Cant reference chart using study overlay on Trade DOM

I am trying to use study overlay to place some levels on the Trade DOM. I had it working at one point. The problem I am having is that the study (in this case overnight levels from a 5 minute chart) does not seem to populate or refernece under the study ID. Only different studies. I dont remember which chart the Trade DOM was created. Does that matter ? or should i still be able to reference it as long as the chartbook is open ?

We do not fully understand the question here. If you are using the Study/Price Overlay, then when you go to select the particular study you want to overlay the first item you need to select is the Chart you want to get the study from, and then you would select the particular study. It does not matter what chart the Trading DOM was opened from, as there is no connection between a Trading DOM and a Chart, apart from the Symbol. The Trading DOM is a chart unto itself. Refer to the information at the following link:
Study/Price Overlay Study: Study to Overlay

If i created a DOM that is fairly customized is there a way to save it as a default or global from the chart version ? I did not create the DOM under global settings . Is there a way to work backward without re-inputting all the data ? so that i can open it up linked to the appropriate chartbook ?

Refer to the following:
Using Chart Templates: Duplicating Charts / Template Charts

Also How can i change the font/size of the prices on the price ladder ?

This is controlled by the Chart Text font. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text - (current font name)

How can i change the size of the font/numbers on the Volume by price study that comes with the DOM

It depends on which numbers in the Volume by Price study you are referring to.

For the Volume numbers in the bars established by the Input for Display Volume in Bars, they are controlled by the settings for the Subgraph named Volume Numbers Text Color and Size (SG7). Refer to the information here:
Volume By Price Study: Volume Numbers Text Color and Size (SG7)

For the values that are displayed on the Top or Bottom of the VbP as established by the Input for Show Chart Values on Profile, they are controlled by the Font Size Input in the section of the Inputs related to the Chart Chart Values on Profile Input. Refer to the following:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=141&Name=Volume_by_Price#TextFontSize

As noted in the section for the Subgraph, the color of the text outside of the bars is controlled by that subgraph color setting.
