Post From: Problem with Re-Centering of Chart DOM during volatile moves

I am sending a short video of a problem i experienced and recorded on Friday July 15, 2022 at 10:00 AM EST (report of consumer sentiment) . I saw the same problem on Wednesday July 13, 2022 at 8:30 AM EST (report of CPI )(not recorded).

The recording shows four monitors being recorded. Look at the bottom left pane which has three DOM's. On the far left is a Chart DOM of ES/MES(quote), in the middle is a Jigsaw DOM of MES using CQG data and on the right there is a Trade DOM showing ES.

The issue i experienced i that during this volatile move the last price and current bid and offer went off the screen and would not re-center. It would not re-center automatically or manually if i tried to double click on the price ladder, which i did multiple times over a period of time. Usually this will re-center the DOM. What is interesting is that the Jigsaw DOM and the Trade DOM both re-centered automatically. I had both the Chart DOM and the Trade DOM scales set the same way - Constant Range and Reset when last bar is 25 ticks away from center. I also tried other scale settings on the Chart DOM using replay of this event and all of them had the same issue. I cannot use re-center last bar or price on every update because the chart is bouncing around too much and and it actually makes me dizzy.

I have also noticed that sometimes the center line will move up or down from the center and establish a new center which is not really the center. This typically occurs after a move up or down that results in re-centering. But it happens inconsistently. I don't have a video of that but let me know if you need me to provided one.

Thanks for your help
