Requested Market Depth Levels

is there any way I can change market depth levels in the sierra trade dom, so that i only see the current bid/ask size in the buy/sell columns instead of all 10 levels of depth? there is no box for changing "requested market depth" when selecting zenfire under data/trade service settings, and it seems this option is only availabe when selecting tt or amp/tt as data/trade service.

when trading with the zenfire/ninjatrader dom, i can hide market depth, so i don´t see why this option shouldn´t be available with sierra and zenfire feed.
it seems having this option with the sierra chart futures data feed would maybe also depend on which primary trading service i use? would it work with the sierra futures feed and amp/tt as primary trade service?

You can completely remove the market depth but not control the number of levels on the Chart / Trade DOM.

Here are the instructions to configure the Trade DOM columns:

If I completely remove market depth, will I still see the current bid/ask size? Doesn´t seem possible.

What about the Sierra futures data feed with amp/tt as primary service? there is a box in the data/trade service settings menu where i can choose levels of market depth when selecting amp/tt. would the level i choose here also be the level i see when trading with the sierra futures feed?

No. You would not see the best bid and ask sizes if you remove the market depth size/volumes columns.

The Sierra Chart futures data feed will always deliver the full depth regardless of any settings.

Any chance that future versions of SC will let me adjust market depth levels?

This is the first request like this we have had.

There certainly would not be any way to adjust the number of levels from the server. All data will be transmitted. This is just how it is designed.

the ninjatrader dom (zenfire feed) lets me choose between total market depth or only best bid/ask, so it does seem possible to include this option.

suprises me that this is the first request. i like to avoid anything on my trading screens that distracts or doesn´t give me additional/valuable information. the only information i need in the dom is the best bid/ask.

Chart -> Studies -> Add Custom Study

bbs_bos_b_2.dll - Best Bid Size/Ask Size:
- move the right edge of the DOM wider/to the right to see numbers
- set any type of drawing style to set font color and font size

bid_ask_b4.dll - Best Bid Size/Ask Size + Best Bid /Ask

- check settings to set it as you need

did you try to use ChartDom? - it is the very useful tool, imo

yes i tried using the chartdom, but it doesn´t seen to work for me, because i need two different scales for the chart and the dom, when you have the dom integrated to the chart you have the same scale.

i checked out the custom studies box but couldn´t find your studies there. did i somehow misunderstand you, do i have to download those two files you posted and save them in the studies folder of sc software? where exactly do they have to be saved?

thanks, that last studie works. is there any way to have the bid/ask price displayed in the buy/sell order columns (same as market depth before) instead of having it located left of the buy order column?

>> to have the bid/ask price

do you mean ...size? - I don't know.

sorry, i meant bid/ask size. it would be great if i could have the best bid/ask size at the same location as they are when you have all ten levels of depth. best bid size in the buy column and best ask size in the sell column.

Do you have instructions for removing market depth. I couldn't find it here or elsewhere:

@sgne - If you do not want to see the Market Depth levels, then you need to use the Buy and Sell Columns rather than the Buy/Bid Size and Sell/Ask Size columns. You will find more information about this here:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Buy Order Column - Left/Center/Right Aligned

But we are not sure if this is really what you are looking for, as you should not be receiving the Market Depth data given the exchange that you have active with the Denali Exchange Data Feed. Let us know if you are wanting something else.

Also, it is best if you start a new thread rather than adding to a very old post. Even it is probably related. You can always include a reference to the other post if you like.
