Hello,

Here is what am looking to have
https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1728743979459.png
(Please see, the intraday values are to the right of scale values)

Here is what am able to achieve
https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1728744118227.png
(See green arrow which shows "High" value on the scale) Using High/Low for time period study.
Problem with this is it hides the values on scale. This value of "High" of the day should be displayed to the right of scale values, like in above example.

How to achieve this? This will keep the chart clean without clutter while clearly showing these important values when making decisions.

I have spent lot of time to get to this point, please help me finish the task.

Thanks

First you need to add the "Label Column" to your chart:

Global Trade Settings Windows: Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns (Chart Specific)

If you only want to add the column without using chart trade mode, use trade - show market data columns. Then add the Label Column, and position it all the way at the bottom of the list. You can't delete the buy order column or sell order columns, but if you're not using chart trade mode they won't be visible.


You can add a custom title to the top of the column (your first chart image has it named "Levels") in the dialog box where you add/remove columns.



Once the column is there, now you have to set the values for each study you want to show up in that column.

Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Name and Value Labels

Use the Horizontal Align dropdown and select Label Column for either the name or value, whichever you want to show up there.

Thanks for your response. Still configuring all the values I need.

However, I have run in to a big problem.

I do place trades from chart and also using trade shortcuts. So, I have to keep option to place trades from chart "ON".

However, once I enable columns for DOM since buy and sell columns are always present, this causes trades being placed unintentionally. As I use scale on the right hand side of chart to expand and contract the chart to see price movement. I looked but I do not see a way where I could place trades from chart/shortcuts but do not place trade when clicking on DOM buy and sell columns.

Is there a way to notplace trade from DOM while placing trades from Chart? Or is there another way of implementing what I asked for above.

Again, thanks.

You just need to turn off the chart DOM, while leaving the chart trade mode ON. In the trade menu for the specific chart...


The following should be checked (selected):

Chart trade mode ON

Show market data columns


The following should NOT be checked (NOT selected):

Trading chart DOM ON



Note: For the Studies Subgraphs you want to put in the label column... The value label box (OR the Name Label box) must be checked and label column selected for horizontal alignment, AND you must add the Label Column in the visible columns using Customize Chart DOM Columns.

If you're trying to use the Name Label for the subgraphs (not the Value Label) in the Label Column, you need to type something in the Short Name field. Otherwise the generic study subgraph name shows up.

Another option to the above is to keep the "Trading Chart DOM On" enabled, but then change the columns that are displayed, so you do not have the "Bid Size/Buy Column" or "Ask Size/Sell Column", but replace these with the "Bid Size" and "Ask Size" columns.

In either case, you would get the same result.
