When I got back from work my number bar charts were up and functional but but my DOM"S were missing from the screen and from both if my saved chartbooks (one is a backup). When I opened a new DOM of course all my setting were gone. First, do you know what happened and second , is there a way to attach the DOM to the main chart in the same manner that the trade windows can be attached? Even better would be the ability to link price action from the DOM to the main chart so I wouldn't always have to recenter one or the other. Thanks in advance... |

We cannot say what happened. But there are backup chartbooks available. Refer to: Chartbooks (Workspaces): Accessing a Backup Chartbook File , is there a way to attach the DOM to the main chart in the same manner that the trade windows can be attached? Only if you are using a standard chart and then you enable this option:Trade Menu: Trading Chart DOM On (Trade menu) You can also hide the price bars through Chart >> Graph Draw Types>> Blank.

I checked out the links and they were no help as they mainly reference the goofy little DOM on the main chart How many keystrokes would it take for a programmer to allow the separate DOM to be attached to a chart the same as a trade window? |

We had a look into this, and this is already supported.

I guess I should have made my situation a bit clearer. I trade using a 12 monitor system and only trade GC and CL (except for stocks and options on Etrade but that is beside the point). On SC both GC and CL number bar charts are on separate monitors and are detached from the main window, so the last directions you gave me do not apply as when I attach one of the number bar charts to the main window on one symbol I am SOL on the other symbol(unless I want to run two instances of SC which is above my pay grade). The best solution I can come up with is to place the DOM's over the left side of my charts and make them "Always on Top" although again, it should only be a few keystrokes for you to allow me to attach my DOM to a detached chart the same as my Trade Windows which are on the right side of the number bar charts. Again, thanks in advance. The number bar charts coupled with the DOM's have revolutionized my trading and I hope to become a 7 figure trader with their help. |

Quantico, I do not know if you already tried to customize the Chart DOM via Chart Graphic settings, but it can be fully customized and a standalone DOM-equivalent chart DOM can be created, what is fully functional and definitely not goofy. Also you can define the displayed DOM columns identical to how you setup a detached DOM. Because the Chart DOM is attached to the chart, its scale follows the chart accurately. You can even setup a keyboard shortcut to turn on/off the chart DOM so you can display it only when you need/want to use. See example below: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=152861930356.png Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-06-10 08:29:32

Thank you for trying to help ticinotrader but I'm not sure you understood my last post. I run two detached number bar charts. Since they are already detached from the main window, I do not see how to attach a DOM to an already detached chart in the same way a trade window can be attached. The goofy comment was specifically directed at the little DOM that is integrated into the main chart and is turned of and on in Chart Settings, not the standalone DOM which is very well designed. |

Yes, it was suspicious to me either, that I do not understand the problem exactly. Although the screenshot I posted shows a detached chart window with the Chart DOM displayed. I asked the same question earlier too about how to 'synchronize' a DOM and a chart, but it was not possible. But displaying the Chart DOM (first setting up the Chart DOM the same way as my DOMs are setup) works finely for me. |

Could you tell me the exact steps to attach the DOM to a detached chart please? I have also asked how to synchronize the DOM to the main chart and the answer that I received was that it would be done sometime in the future. Again, thank you very much for your help. |

Try to display the menu on the detached chart (right click the symbol name at the top, select show menu), then select Trade -> Trading Chart DOM On. See the instructions below in the Sierra documentation too: Chart Menu: Show Menu (Chart menu) You may need to adjust the scale settings for your needs (Scale increment, horizontal grid lince increment, etc) as well. Hope this helps. |

Yes, I see your confusion. If you go to File-> Open Trading DOM for Chart, that is the DOM I wish to attach to my detached number bar charts, not the DOM that is built-in to the main chart which is the one that you are referencing.

l(unless I want to run two instances of SC which is above my pay grade). This is not difficult. It is explained here:Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance Just give it a try. Could you tell me the exact steps to attach the DOM to a detached chart please?
The only thing you can do is to enable the Chart DOM on that detached chart itself.Refer to this particular command here: Trade Menu: Trading Chart DOM On (Trade menu) I have also asked how to synchronize the DOM to the main chart and the answer that I received was that it would be done sometime in the future.

Syncing price between the DOM and my main Number Bars chart. As it is now I constantly have to move the scale of one or the other to be in range of each other.
