First refer to the following to define what you want the coloring to be defined by:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Coloring Of Position Line Based On (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Chart Position Line)

Then refer to the coloring options starting here:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trading Position Line Long/Profit

And refer to following setting to align the order lines to any position within the chart:

Thank you very much.
I was able to clarify my question

I had a second related question. Is there a way to display the Trade/Order and Position Lines in the DOM part of the chart (on the Chart DOM) like on the Trade DOM. For example in one of the General Purpose Columns; so that the orders and positions can be handled like on the Trade DOM ?

This part of your statement has us confused. On the Trade DOM, the Order and Position Lines are not in the DOM itself, they are just pushed up next to it.

You can do this using the Trade Drawings Left Align % option as noted above. Here is the link again:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ChartSettings.html#TradeDrawingsLeftAlignPercent

The only difference that we can think of is the display of the prices in the Price Ladder on the Trade DOM, which is not done on the Chart DOM. There is not a way to change this.

Sorry about the lack of clarity on my part.

I think you gave me the answer. Which is it cant be done

I am attaching a picture of my Trade DOM showing the order lines if this is what you call them

I wanted to see if they could be right near the price ladder. which would put them as part of the DOM and not the chart. So to the right of the chart
