SC:

This is what my Trade dom looks like now. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1493780269427.png

Here are my questions:

1. How do I put a flatten button on my Trade Dom?

2. How do I put a cancel button on my Trade Dom?

3. When I fill an order, the fill price still displays on the chart. How do I keep the fill price from displaying on the chart. I only want it to display on the trade dom. The way I have it now, the two child orders, one for a target and one for a stop only display on the Trade Dom and not on the associated chart. The entry order price also displays on the trade dom. How do I keep the entry price from displaying on the chart? For me, those order lines just take up too much space on my chart and get in the way of my candlesticks.

4. How come the market depth is not showing up on the Trade Dom like it does in your documentation screenshot?

5. How do I customize what is displayed on the trade Dom when an order is filled.
For example, I only want to see the fill price and the target price and the stop price displayed. The "X" is ok to be displayed for me. I don't want to see the P and L amount. Here is a screenshot example of an order fill for illustration purposes only ... http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1493780269427.png

6. How do I move the Trade Dom window when it is minimized, it just goes to my task bar. In this example, my CL chart is detached and therefore, when I minimize the CL Trade Dom, it just goes down to my taskbar in windows However, I would like to have it to where I could move the minimized trade down to the bottom of my CL chart for easy access when I need to maximize it and place a trade. If I attach the trade dom window, then it goes to the taskbar in Sierra Charts. In other words, when I was using a trade dom from a broker, I could move the minimized dome to where ever I wanted it on my monitors. When you have 4 charts open it just makes a traders life simpler and faster.

Your charts are way cool. Hopefully, I can get the dom configured with the above.

1,2. You need to attach the Trade Window since these buttons are on that. Refer to:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Opening Trade Window for Chart or Trade DOM

3. You need to disable these:
Trade Menu: Chart Trade Mode On (Trade menu)
Trade Menu: Show Orders And Position (Trade menu)

4. Refer to:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Customizing Trade DOM and Chart DOM Columns

We can tell bid/ask quantity columns are already added, but there is no market depth data for that symbol.

5. You can set the relevant settings for the Position line in the Chart Trade Settings:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Chart Trade Settings

6. You can attach it only to the main Sierra Chart window. Refer to:
Window, CB and CW Menus: Detach/Attach Window (Window)


When minimizing it, it just goes to the bottom of the main Sierra Chart window.
