View Count: 1368

Hello,

I would like to adjust the appearance of my DOM in order to fit multiple DOM's on my screen next to each other...

Is it possible to scale the overall appearance of the DOM but still keeping the content as it is?

As well, is it possible to activate a feature where by
pushing on the space bar
you can re-center the DOMs all together at the same time? (And not have do it manually on each DOM?

Many thanks,

Nicolas

Not Support.

1. Yes. I have a Chartbook that is just DOMs, just resize each one to fit however you like. I'm not really sure I understand what you mean here.

2. Yes. See: Global Settings > Customize Keyboard Shortcuts > Trade > Re-center Trade DOM Scales

Hope that was helpful.

Hello,

Many thanks for your quick response.

I have configured point 2, so I am set for that.

Concerning point 1:

I mean resizing the content of the DOM so that it occupies less space on my screen and I can add more DOM's next to each other.

I don't want to change the content of the DOM, just the overall size all together in order to "refine" it and make it more "thin" so that it doesn't occupy too much space on my screen.

Many thanks,

Nicolas

EDIT: I think what you might want is to AutoScale the DOM once you've got the layout.
  - Right Click DOM (price Column or a Column Header) > Auto Scale the ChartDOM


I understand what you're asking, but not exactly how to answer succinctly.

I'll run you through the process I used the get them how I like, and hopefully that covers it.

Firstly, create a new Chartbook, and load a single DOM:
  - File > New Chartbook
  - File > Open Trading DOM

Then Configure that DOM how you want it and the rest as a base:
  
  Remove the Trade Window:
  - Trade > Attach Trade Window to Chart

  (Optional) Attach the DOM Window to the Chartbook:
  - Window > Detach / Attach Chart Window (CTRL+ALT+D)
  - Restore Window: CTRL+ALT+R

  Setup your Columns how you want:
  - Trade > Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns
  (Enabling Automatic Sizing helps here)
  My preferred order:
    Price
    Bid Market Depth Pulling / Stacking
    Bid Size / Buy Column
    Recent Bid Volume
    Recent Ask Volume
    Ask Size / Sell Column
    Ask Market Depth Pulling / Stacking

  (Optional) Setup a Volume Profile on the chart:
  - F6 (Chart > Studies) > Volume By Price > Add
  (Running through how to configure this to be useful is another subject

  Now resize the window to be roughly the size you want the rest by dragging the corners.

Duplicate the Chart for as many DOMS as you want:
  - Chart > Duplicate Chart

Set the appropriate Symbol for each DOM:
  - F5 (or Chart > Chart Settings) > Symbol > Find

Now just Drag, Resize, and Order them how you like.
