Few small questions

Hey, I have few things I couldn't figure out on my own and I hope you can help me with:

1. I want to set up a sound alert for the Large Volume Trade Indicator so that when an order larger than 200 hit the market I will get a sound alert(i.e. whenever the visual of this indicator appears on the chart, I also want an audio alert to be heard). I want an audio alert to be heard every time >200 order hit the market - regardless if it happens multiple times on the same bar or on in a new bar. How can I do this?
2. Is it possible to have any sort of marker/price box on the price scale which is constantly set to "x" ticks below/above the current price price box?
3. I'm typically trading using OCO order with 2 Target-limit and 2 Stop-stop attached orders(lets say 2 contracts), and it is set to "Order Quantity Button 1" keyboard shortcut. I want to be able to switch to 1 contract with only 1 Target-limit and 1 Stop-stop attached orders by clicking on a different keyboard shortcut. The problem is that setting it as "Order Quantity Button 2" keyboard shortcut only changes the order quantity from 2 to 1, but the OCO remains with 2 stops/targets so SC prompts an error due to the mismatch between the parent order and attached orders. Is it possible to set it so that both the quantity and the Target/Stop scheme will change together with a keyboard shortcut? or any other workaround for this situation?

Thanks

1. For this you need to use the Time and Sales window:
Time and Sales Window

2. Yes use the arithmetic studies for this:
Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies

And enable the Value Label in the Study Settings for the study you use:
Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Name and Value Labels

3. No keyboard shortcut for this, you just need to use Trade Window Configurations for this:

I got the first 2 things to work, thanks :-)

As for #3, that's what iv'e been doing. Is it possible to set keyboard shortcut for different Trade Window Configurations? or do you have any plan to do it? I think a keyboard shortcut for order quantity plus its relevant OCO(/attached order) will be pretty useful for many users.

I do have one more question, is it possible to set "Use date Range" to a specific date range for all charts in the chartbook at the same time?

We will add this.

Yes. Refer to:

Thanks again, and I do have another small question which I figured i'll ask here instead of opening a new thread:

For Recent Bid/Ask Volume on the DOM, how can I control the price levels that are keep being shown and the ones that are getting cleared? I don't mind if it's by the amount of price levels, or by time.

Look at this thread and gif(I attach the gif here directly so you don't have to go threw the thread):
Recent Bid/Ask Volume
https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=27930

There is only a small amount of price levels in which Recent Bid/Ask Volume are seen, the rest are getting cleared. Mine keep showing all of them which is unnecessary and confusing for my purposes. (The timeout mechanism works between the last prices based on the timeout time set, but im referring to more "historical" recent bid/ask vol that are being kept on the DOM).

There really is not a way to control this.

However, there are these two related settings that you may want to change:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

Global Trade Settings Windows: Recent Bid Ask Volume Timeout in Milliseconds (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)
