Post From: Sierra DOM Scaling no good solution for me

May be I am missing something, but to me, all of the DOM scaling types don't really work well for real trading environments. If you have constant range selected, you have to manually recenter by scrolling or double clicking, if you have auto center enabled, then you dont really get to see price move in a way that is helpful for trading imo. The other types are unuseable also. I have recently switched from a setup that uses 1 dom, to a more scalping oriented setup that uses 5 DOMs and charts above them. The issue now is that I am spending 8-10 hrs/day double clicking and scrolling 5 DOMs, which isn't pleasant and I worry that I will eventually look like a crab, with 1 giant claw. I have used the CTS T4 DOM, and it has a fantastic feature which is to slowly and constantly autoscroll itself back to the center position. I really liked the way this worked. Another alternative would be to auto recenter based on a user definable # of ticks away from center, ie price gets 10 ticks from center then the DOM recenters. If Sierra already has a solution for this, I'd love to hear it, but my feeling is that since the DOM is considered a chart in Sierra, which is Genius in it's own right because it allows a lot of customisation, it forces the DOM to stick to scrolling/centering methods of a chart, which it really is not. Please help before I have to switch to the much inferior CTS T4 just for that DOM Thanks |
