[User Discussion] - bid/ask price tags on Y-axis ?

Hi,

The last price has its tag in white on the Y-axis. Unfortunately, on CFD/forex, having the avg bid-ask is about useless since this price has no real useful meaning to trade it.

I have used the “Draw DOM graph on chart” feature and enabled to show bid-ask prices but those numbers sometimes resize badly and overlay the candles when the chart is being scaled out despite fixing a large locked space on the right of the chart. Also, that display of floating numbers distracts me somehow.

I am wondering, is it possible to hide the last price tag in white, and instead have the bid and ask prices show as similar tags (color editable) directly on the Y-axis (which never runs into rescaling troubles) ?

Illustrated screenshots attached

This does not make sense to us:

These should be completely stable. They do not resize.

Also, this is the study you want to use to do what you want:

Thanks. But is there a way to hide completely the last price price box ?

Then, is there a way so that the Z-order of the price boxes from the Bid/Ask prices study becomes above (in front of) the last price box ?


Or maybe set the last price box to be transparent ?
