I need help fixing the Current traded volume columns, for my DOM window in sierra chart. I added 2 tick compression, and the only thing that is not quite right is that. It looks as if it was still being cut in the middle of each histogram. Looks like 2 bricks in 1, sometimes due to small volume sizes, you can see a cutout. Tell me how to fix this please, I went insane trying to find out how. I know for a fact that it can be done, since the ref image im looking at is what I want. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1779826313621.png |

Hello John, Thank you for your reply. I have attached two images. One, the darker red and blue colors, is mine. As you can see, (The histogram), is not a single "brick", but it cuts in the middle, as if it were 2 histograms in the same price row. Second image, is the reference. As you can see, the CTV columns have full histograms, and it also has a 2 tick compression. I hope that cleared it up and that you can help me. Thank you! |

Hello, I have attached the chartbook with the DOM only as well as images of my settings just in case it doesn't ship with them. In scale settings for the DOM, I also have "Scale Increment" set to 0.50. |

You are setting the "Tick Size" to be 0.5. You should not be doing this. You need to set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks" to be "2" and then set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns" to "Yes". Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu) Chart Settings: Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hello, If I do that, my dom will be completely misaligned, as you can see in the attached images. P/S, bid/ask depth and CTV columns are not aligned properly. What's more, is that my VP studies will get botched up too. (I can't change the tick size in the study, it auto resets to 1 every time I apply). |

When you say "my dome will be completely misaligned", are you referring to the location of the grid? or something else? As to the Volume by Price on the Trading DOM, you can change the "Volume at Price Multiplier" for the Trading DOM, which will then be reflected in the Volume at Price study. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Volume at Price Multiplier for Historical/Intraday Chart (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Volume at Price menu) There have been changes to how the data in the DOM is dealt with, so adjusting the Tick Size will create issues, which is what you were seeing originally. What we have given you above is the correct way to aggregate the data in the DOM and Volume Profile.

Ok, the studies are now ok. This is how it currently looks with your suggested settings. The horizontal gridlines and the "histogram" or "volume bars" of P/S, bid/ask depth & CTV columns are still not aligned properly. And the original issue with the "double histogram within one price row" issue is still at hand. Attached image so it's easier to see. |

The issue of the "double histogram" is not really occurring. The underlying issue for what you are seeing is due to the alignment of the horizontal grid. That grid is slightly off. We are aware that the horizontal grid will do this sometimes. One of the things to try is to set the "Horizontal Grid Line Increment" to "0" and see if that resolves it for you.

Hello john, changing the setting you mention makes it even worse unfortunately. I have made the horizontal gridlines brighter so you can see the problem. setting both scale increment and horizontal grid line increment to 0.5, is the closest I've gotten, but they are still not aligned, and the CTV columns are horrible to look at (multiple histograms within the same price row). |

I've done some testing in a brand new DOM, and what I found out is that the issue might come from the scale settings menu. Applying the tick compression like you said (set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks" to be "2" and then set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns" to "Yes"), makes it so that the Data (Numbers for P/S, BID/ask depth/ and CTV) Appears only on the 0.50 and .00 price rows, on the .75 and .25 rows nothing appears. However, the Histograms, still show on every single row. My question now is, how do I remove VISUALLY, the rows that I don't want to see, without compromising the rest? Because setting the scale increment to 0.5 in scale settings, removes the .25 and .75 levels, but completely messes up everything else. |

Here you go, simplified to the max. Note that within scale settings, Scale increment is set to 0.5. If this is not set to 0.5, the dom will still show the .25 and .75 rows. |

We think this problem has to do with another request to have quantity/volume bars fill all price levels even when combining price levels. We will have to add an option for that. This will be solved in the next release. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I see, that would in fact be needed. This has been quite the headache. In the meantime, I just wonder how this user has accomplished what im looking for (attached img). Unfortunately he is quite "famous" and won't reply to a dm asking for .cht or settings. I can see in his chart, that the histograms and everything are offset by a couple of pixels if you really zoom in, but still, CTV bar is one solid one. |

I don't know if you did anything yet, but I managed to have single bar/row volume bars. The only thing that is missing now is the horizontal gridlines to align with everything else at all times (specially the volume bars) and it would be perfect. Thank you for your help!

Actually, we are seeing that there is an issue with the Current Traded Bid/Ask volume columns not properly displaying the combined values in the volume profiles for those columns. We will look into this.

For the current traded volume columns, when you enable the volume bars, the volume bars will display for each price tick even when enabling combining. Supporting combining with the volume bars is more involved to do but we should have that done next week.
