Feature Request: Change colors on DOM and Spreadsheet

I want to calculate one or more prices in ACSIL, and highlight these prices on one or more DOMs. Ideally, I would do this by changing the color of certain columns (for example, the price column). I imagine this is a very common use case, as many people trade from the DOM and there is no obvious way I can see to indicate visually a computed price on the DOM. I have seen the post about using the line study, but this is clunky and limited. It requires you to set up an additional study, an input into your own script to reference that study, and so on. It is also a poor visual indicator, being harder to notice than, e.g., a block of columns all colored together to indicate a price range. I would also like to be able to change the color of spreadsheet cells via ACSIL. I compute prices, put them into a spreadsheet, and when would like to color code them to aid quick indentification, e.g., of a threshold being crossed, or a state being entered. If any reader would also like this feature, please voice your support so the engineering team can see it. Thank you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-07-02 19:58:27

To highlight a price on the DOM, you would use the Value Label option for the study. Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Name and Value Labels For accessing this through ACSIL, refer to the following: ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].LineLabel Coloring of a spreadsheet cell is a feature request.

I am a scalper using the Trading DOM. The Label update process is far to slow for the way I trade. I like how I can highlight block trades on the Time and Sales. I simply configure Volume > xyz value. When the volume exceeds xyz the Bid Highlight or Ask Highlight background and text color is applied to listing respectively. I would really like to see something similar for the Trading DOM Bid and Ask values. For example, if the Bid DOM value is > xyz, use a Trading DOM Bid Highlight background color and text color just like what occurs with the Time and Sales listing. These Bid/Ask values may sometime simply flash but then again sometimes they stay there depending on conditions. I do know I can and do use a heat map to show, but if one is focused on the DOM these "magnets" are an important detail with order flow analysis. I would really like to see DOM highlighting that is similar to the Time and Sales highlighting capabilities. I don't think Ninja or Jigsaw have this capability, I could be wrong. |
