If you turn on the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale >> Use Left Side Scale" and as long as you do not have a study that is set to use the Left Side Scale, then the main price graph scaling will be shown along with the crosshair value. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Use Left Side Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu)


You can then turn off the right-side scale if you want by setting "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale >> Hide Values Scale" to "Yes". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Hide Values Scale (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale menu)

How do I put the last trade price on the left side after I turn on the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale >> Use Left Side Scale"?

In other words, I want to put the last trade price in the left side where all the price ladder prices are after I choose the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale >> Use Left Side Scale"? Then, I want the crosshair price to be in the right side scale. Is that possible? That way when I am trying to fill an order trading from the chart DOM, I can see the current price on the left side and then using the crosshair, I can see the price of where my crosshair is on the right side. The way it is now, they are both on the same side and one gets in the way of the other.

Hope that makes sense.

To do what you want, you would need to use the "Current Price Line" study to the chart. Set the "Scale" for this study to be "Same as Region" and select the option for "Use in Left Side Scale". If you do not want the line itself, then set the draw style to "Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only". Then set the "Value Label" to "Left Side Scale". You can change the color of the background of the price through the color of the subgraph.

Then to remove the Last Trade Price box from the right side, go to "Graphics Settings" and find the entry for "Last Trade Price Box" and uncheck the "Enabled" option.

Refer to the following:
Current Price Line

Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Same As Region (Scale Range)

Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Use In Left Side Scale

Chart Studies: Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_SUBGRAPH_NAME_AND_VALUE_LABELS_ONLY)

Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Name and Value Labels

Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Color

Graphics Settings: Last Trade Price Box
