Trade DOM recentering and Price Scale graphics request

1) I have looked at my charts carefully and at the documentation and cannot figure this out. I have setup a Trade DOM and am comparing it to the behavior of a Chart DOM I have created. My question relates to re-centering the Trade DOM i have created. I have all of my scales set the same way set to constant range. When reset the scales on my Chart DOM (the last price returns to what visually is the middle of the screen and so does the re-center line (as I would expect and this is what i would prefer). On the Trade DOM I have created when i try to recenter/reset the price scale - no matter what I do it ends up ath bottom quarter of the screen along with all the other Trade DOM's that I created off the same chart. Again all my scale setting appear the same ? Do you know what I can do to change it to the way it is behaving on my Chart DOM 2) I also wanted to know if you would consider creating option on the price scale where the graphics settings reverse or can be highlighted in some way when the price is traded during that session. I would prefer this over using the daily high and low line. As always thank you very much for all your help. |

Here is a screen shot of my Trade DOM showing the last price and center line toward the bottom of the screen and the scale settings next to it. I am able to manually move the scale without any problems and can move it to where i want it but when i try to recenter it; it recenters to that bottom area. Again on a Chart DOM I have in a separate instance it re-centers that DOM to the middle of the screen and the settings are the same. Thank you |

I am following up on this question because i have not heard back regarding recentering of the Trade DOM I am attaching a short video. I show my scale settings and then i double click on the price column on each DOM shown and it re-centers toward the bottom quarter of my screen. How can I get it to re-center into the middle portion of my screen ? Thank you |

What we think is the issue is that the Trade DOM is taller than what you are seeing in the window. So it is centering to the center of the window, but you do not see it all. If you maximize the Trade DOM, you will be able to see better what is occurring. Or make sure you can see the top and bottom of the window.

I agree with what you are saying Attaching another short video so when i expand window you can see the center but then the scaling is no longer the way i have it set in the original window. So if i spread out the prices - it does not maintain the center. Is there a way to "reset the center point to whatever scaling you are using ? What do you suggest to keep center in center of window - it seems like changing the scaling will affect this ? Thank you |

Sorry, we are not fully understanding what you are trying to convey. If you change the size of the window, then yes, it will change the range that you have displayed. You would have adjust it accordingly. The recenter is going to recenter to whatever is the center of the window at the time.

Then why does it not recenter to the area i am looking for when the window is not expanded. Shouldnt it find the center of that window and recenter it based on the center and scale of that window. I dont believe it is doing that based on the videos i have sent

It looks like it is recentered to the last price when you maximized the window. The price of 112'01.50 in particular appears to be be in the center. But did you double left-click on the scale or specifically select Re-Center Trade DOM Scales to see where it would place the price?

Yes I agree it is re-centered when window is maximized. but i am interested in getting it re-centered in the window before it is being maximized (with larger scaling interval). There I cannot get it to re-center relative to the window and scaling in that window |

That is correct. It is centering to the center of the full window. There is not a way to do exactly what you are trying to do.

I understand the problem now What I am trying to do is to line up all the Treasury DOM's in one chartbook next to each other. The problem is that for each chart/DOM I have to change the size of it to get it top fit and that alters the center of it. It sounds like to do this I should make a chartbook for each Trade DOM so i can have each DOM window maximized and then change the size of the chartbook window ? Does that sound correct ? Thanks |

You can do it that way, or you can just ensure that the height of all the Trading DOM Windows are the same.

Glad i asked. That really helped Didnt realize that somehow the heights of each DOM were all taller than the actual chartbook window. Not sure how they got that way ? I was able to "shrink" them all down to same size and i have it looking the way I wanted Thank you |
