Hello, I have enabled Market Depth on chart and I also enabled Volume Numbers: Chart Setings >> Market Depth >> Show Volume Numbers: Yes Is there a possibility to change color of those Volume Numbers? I thought I could use below setting, but it does not change anything: Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Colors >> Market Depth >> Market Depth: Text Color Is there other way or it is not possible? Thanks in advance, Przemek |

We need to know exactly what market depth you are viewing and what item you want to change. The setting for "Chart Setings >> Market Depth >> Show Volume Numbers: Yes" is for the DOM Graph. Refer to the following regarding the DOM Graph: Trade Menu: Draw DOM Graph on Chart (Trade menu) The general Market Depth columns are separate. Refer to the following: Global Trade Settings Windows: Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns (Chart Specific) Please let us know which of these you are viewing and what you want to change.

Hello, I'm talking about Market Depth enabled by: Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Draw DOM Graph on Chart: Yes The numbers which color I want to change are enabled by: Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Show Volume Numbers: Yes To visualize it better, I'm talking about white numbers that are between Market Depth graph and price scale in below picture: https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1788938179241.png Thanks in advance, Przemek |

The color of the Volume numbers in the DOM Graph are controlled through the "Chart Text" setting. So this is the general text coloring option. Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Chart Text Please let us know how you would want this to work and we will add this to our features request list. In particular, do you want just a single color to control all the colors, or do you want there to be separate Bid/Ask coloring? Another option would be that the volume numbers use the same coloring as the lines, which are controlled by the following settings: Graphics Settings: DOM Graph Ask Lines Begin Color For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hello John, Thank you for information. Possibility of changing colors (independent from volume lines) separately for Bid and Ask available in Global Color settings and in individual Chart Settings would be great ;-) BTW, what is controlled by this setting: Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Colors >> Market Depth >> Market Depth: Text Color ? Thanks in advance, Przemek |

Would you want separate colors for Bid/Ask, or is just one color option enough? BTW, what is controlled by this setting: Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Colors >> Market Depth >> Market Depth: Text Color ?
That is for the Market Depth window. Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Market Depth: Text Color For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Ok. We have noted the request to have a separate color controls for the Bid and Ask volume text for the DOM Graph. We note all requests, but we can not say when we would get to any particular request.
