In reference to these settings: Global Settings --> Customize Chart Header - Trade DOM 1) Would it be possible to add a field for Working Orders which would be a numerical value of how many working orders you currently have on a given contract ie. WO: 0 would indicate you are flat. WO: 1 would indicate you have 1 working order. WO: 2 is two working orders etc 2) Would it be possible to add a field for Open Profit/Loss? 3) Would it be possible to add a field for Avg Fill Price? I know these can all technically be seen on the DOM but sometimes you need to scroll up/down a bunch to find your Avg Fill/Open PnL info, or endlessly to ensure no working orders left hanging. Being able to see all this at a glance at the top of the DOM would be much more convenient. |

There are some options on things you can do as workarounds. In particular, there are several studies that can display some of the information you are wanting wherever you want to place it on the Trading DOM. Refer to the following and the section below it: Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies The only thing that does not exist directly is the number of working orders. But, in those studies is a "Quantity" item that you can use as a proxy to at least know if you have an open order or not.

Thanks, John. Appreciate the workarounds but not sure if you're suggesting these as a "something you can do in the meantime" alternative or as a "request denied since we have these workarounds" response. To be fair the workarounds are not ideal. With Dom Headers, it's a global on/off option that can be set quickly across all your DOMs. With the workarounds, you need to add an individual study to a chart, then add a study/overlay to the DOM and repeat for each study and market you need this info for. It's a lot of steps and clutter for something that could be implemented much more natively. Also I tried adding the Avg Price study as an example but it doesn't seem to wrap-text like the DOM Header fields do, so the information gets cut-off unless you make the DOM super wide? Since Sierra already has these data fields elsewhere - could they just be included as an available DOM header field at some point? |

We suggested those as what we hoped would be a solution for you. You do not need to setup the studies on a chart and then use the "Study/Price Overlay" to get them to a Trading DOM. You can add them directly to the DOM. The "Trading: Profit/Loss Text" is one of the few studies listed for the Trading DOM, but you can add others directly. Refer to the following: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Adding Studies on a Trade DOM Although they do not "wrap", you can change the size of the text through the studies. But, since that does not work for you, we have noted the Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request.
