Trade DOM Values Overlap (Fresh Installation)

Hey,

i've configured the Trade DOM in my SierraCharts Installation and ran into some issues.
I suspected first that i messed up some settings, so i created a fresh installation of SC and opened the standard DOM there.

But i have the same issue with an untouched default installation. Some values in the DOM are overlapping and sometimes it looks extremely messy. (image attached)

I've read your instructions how to upload chart images but with the default upload it was hard to catch because its not messed up all the time, so i decided to take the snapshot myself in the correct moment.

I am new to SierraChart, i was able to setup all my charts with the help of the docs and it was great, so i hope this is not something stupid which i simply missed. Tho the fact that it happens with the default installation left me clueless.

(There is one thing i changed in the installation, in "Customize Trade DOM Columns" i added "Current Traded Ask/Bid Volume" and "Recent Ask/Bid Volume")

Thanks for your help!

What you are seeing is data at different price levels overlapping due to the density of the Market Depth in comparison to the display of the bars/price data. If you were to expand your price scale, you would see the numbers separate.

You can use the "Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks" option to see if this helps get you what you want to see. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu)
