SUPER annoying when you have more than 10 labels to manage across 3 different DOMS

Although I do not have a fix for this, but can share a workaround/solution that at least can reduce the time you will waste adjusting the labels:

As I see based on your screenshot, at least half of the levels you display are values that could be automatically calculated with basic SC studies (Initial Balance Range, Yesterday session data HLC, RTH values, etc).

I recommend trying the following:

Open an extra 'supporting' chart with a lower timeframe period (~10min or less) for each of your DOM symbols and link them to the relevant DOM. Then add the required studies to the chart, so the values you need, will be automatically updated/calculated, without manual intervention. You can set the study line types/draw style to text, so the lines will not appear on the chart (and later on the DOM), and the value labels to be displayed in the Label column.

Then on your DOM, use the Study/Price Overlay study and overlay the studies from the source chart. If you set up everything properly, then your DOM will display the desired text labels in the Label column (see attached screenshots for a quick example).
Using this method, you can take care of many of your values automatically.

For the manual reference levels (non-study based), you can use the Overlay Drawing tools option of SC:
This allows you to automatically overlay chart drawings from a source chart to another chart or DOM.
At your DOM's Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings section set the 'Copy Chart Drawings from Chart #'s' to the chart # of the previously created 'supporting' chart. Then you can draw your levels using the Horizontal Ray tool and the drawings will be automatically overlaid to your DOM.
After doing all the marking, you can minimize the extra chart and keep it out of view so you can focus on watching your DOMs.
You can repeat the same for each of your symbols/DOMs

This way, half of your levels will be taken care of automatically, and the adjustment of the remaining levels (also identifying them) will be much quicker/effective than adjusting line studies on the DOM.

The same info is available in one of the free posts on my site here:

Hope this helps somewhat and saves some time.
