I am trying to change the text/font/color/bold on the Chart DOM using Global graphics settings. The box on Chart graphics settings is checked for global. I tried changing the text /font on a couple of inputs and nothing happened. Are you able to change the appearance of the text on the Chart DOM ? I find that it is too small to see. I was going to try to use bold ? Can you change the text of the individual columns independently ? Also how can i display the total volume on a volume by price study so that it is smaller ? Thank you |

To change the font of the market depth quantities in the DOM (not the Price Ladder) you need to change the DOM Quantities/Sizes under the Font tab. Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: DOM Quantities/Sizes - (current font name) As noted above, the Price Ladder uses the Chart Text font. You can not control the different columns with different fonts for the numbers. You can use different colors, which are controlled through the items starting at the following (for a Chart DOM, note there are other settings for the Trade DOM): Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Buy Column Background With regards to the VbP it depends on which volume number you are referring to. If it is the Volume that is displayed above/below the profile, then there is an Input for that font size on the VbP study directly. Refer to the following: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=141&Name=Volume_by_Price#TextFontSize If it is the volume within each bar, then that is controlled by a subgraph. Refer to the following: Volume By Price Study: Volume Numbers Text Color and Size (SG7) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I have a similar question. I do not want to see the text in the DOM Bid/Ask Ladder or the Volume Profiles (eg: Delta). I just want to see the relative sizes of the bids/offers (profiles) or the volume profile bars. Is there an option to hide text in the DOM and the Volume profiles? |

Set Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale >> Hide Values Scale to Yes. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Hide Values Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu) The volume profiles are controlled per column. Refer to the following: Global Trade Settings Windows: Show Volume Bars (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Global Trade Settings Windows: Show Volume Bars (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns) The DOM texts I am a bit confused about. The settings above allow me to show the volume bars but not hide the text. The DOM fonts allows us to change the fonts. But I want to remove the text itself from the DOM. Is there a way to do that? I am primarily interested in the market depth Bid/Ask columns populated with the MBO data |

Indirectly, you can change the color of the text for the particular column to be the same as the background color, but when the volume bar is long enough, you will still see the text within the volume bar.

It would be great if you could add the option to show/hide text like you have for show/hide volume bars for the DOM. Global Trade Settings Windows: Show Volume Bars (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns) Also is there a way to set the fill of the volume bars to be transparent with only the outline showing? |
