Hello! I have a problem with the sizing of DOM order information. If possible, I would like to see only order size, order type and queue position in the smallest format possible. Please see the attached screenshot. On the screenshot, DOM window 1 shows my default DOM window sizing with only basic order information enabled. If I decide to enable the queue position, a part of the information is hidden including the queue position (DOM window 2). To see the queue position, I have to resize DOM window, and not by little (DOM window 3). I suppose you can see that all this information just takes too much space and it makes a problem for traders who use more DOM windows. Possible solution would be maybe to add a separate column just for order info and to enable separate font size just for order information, or to reduce the amount of order information when the queue position is enabled (for example, to show L (for limit), Q (for queue):, Y (for order size), X (to modify or cancel order). I know that may not seem like an important issue but these small details are what makes a software truly outstanding, from a traders standpoint. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-24 11:51:01

We've been hoping :D relevant: Estimated Position in Queue not showing in DOM |

We will see about adding different order line display options related to this.

Anything ever come of this? Would be nice to be able to move orders to a new column and condense them, unless this already exists and I missed it.

Hi, I am looking for improved functionality in the Trade DOM order display. Two requests: 1. An option for wrapped text on long order descriptions or labels so they remain readable within the column. A separate adjustable column dedicated to active orders that allows direct drag and repositioning independent of the price column width. Currently, order information is restricted by price column formatting, which reduces readability and slows order management. A wrapped text setting or independent order column would significantly improve usability. |

We do not understand this. Please give us an image of what you are referring to. A separate adjustable column dedicated to active orders that allows direct drag and repositioning independent of the price column width.
Currently, order information is restricted by price column formatting, which reduces readability and slows order management. A wrapped text setting or independent order column would significantly improve usability. How is order information dependent on the Price Column width? We understand the idea of a column for orders, but we really do not understand the other items, specifically how they relate to the Price Column. If you are specifically referring to space in the Trading DOM, then let us know that, and how you would like to see the orders on the Trading DOM. Please do not jump to an implementation, as there may be multiple ways to solve a problem. So we need to know what the core problem is that you are wanting to solve.

I guess I am just looking for a more customizable and user friendly dom in general. To be able to adjust the width of the price column would be huge. I have a lot of Dom windows up, and the price as wide as it is just takes up too much screen space. Also, as I mentioned in the other thread, to be able to 1 click cancel or quick drop and drag orders in the order column would also be a huge upgrade. Thanks.
