Exactly what columns do you have displayed in your DOM? You can view the list of columns by selecting "Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns".

We do not think those are the standard Bid Size/Ask Size columns. They look more like the Recent Bid/Ask.

Attached is an image taken at 15:18 Central US time on July 2, 2026, of the NQ DOM. This should give you an idea what it should look like around the current price.

These are these col umns i have selected and this is how my dom looks.
Thing is i have an es dom with this exact same configuration and it seems to be working perfectly fine.
So i've been avoiding nq

It doesn't necessarily look wrong. You have the proper Bid and Ask data in your columns. The Recent Bid/Ask look a little thin, but it depends on what time that image is from.

Also, refer to the following settings that affect how the Recent Bid/Ask information is cleared/handled:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

Global Trade Settings Windows: Recent Bid Ask Volume Timeout in Milliseconds (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)
