Hi!

Is it possible to set up current total volume in DOM without numbers, only volume bars.

I would find that useful for better readability. Screenshot included.

Thanks

One suggestion.
You may be able to achieve what you want with the Numbers Bars and Pullback column.
If you experiment with various short bar periods and which of the three columns of numbers bars you want as well as what type of coloring then that may suit you. Obviously you'd do it with a Chart DOM visible on that chart and just keep what in that DOM you still wanted from your current DOM screenshot

Thanks, but my current setup is DOM exclusive (no graphs). I have a very limited space and I would like to use only standard DOM columns.

We do not fully understand what you are wanting to do.

First, there is the option to NOT display the Cumulative Last Size in the Current Traded Total Volume column. Just deselect this option:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Cumulative Last Size in Current Traded Total Volume (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

Second, the Current Last Size has no impact on the Volume Profile for the Current Traded Total Volume.

We are wondering if what you really are looking for is to have just the Cumulative Last Size Background continue to be displayed in the Current Traded Total Volume and not the text. To do this, just set the Bid Text Color to be the same as the Bid Background and the same for the Ask. Refer to the setting here and the next three:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Cumulative Last Size Text Bid Trade

Note that we referenced the Chart DOM settings above, but there are equivalent settings for the Trade DOM.

Ok, let me try to explain.

I'm using multiple DOMs without any charts. I'm looking for a clean and efficient setup, without any unnecessary columns or studies.

On more volatile days, prices will swipe up and down a DOM very fast and it is easy to get lost and forget where the contract was trading. Without a fixed reference point you have to memorize where the contract was trading and do that for multiple contracts. That is not easy.

To make my life simpler, it would be nice to see "traded" vs. "non traded" prices on DOM. But that is not yet implemented.

So, the next best thing would be to use total volume as a reference of traded prices. I'm not actually interested in total volume per se, but just need volume bars as a reference of traded prices.

Since I have to use cumulative last size, I was thinking of combining it with total volume column (as you have nicely implemented). But in that case the volume numbers in the volume column are making it more difificult to see the cumulative last size numbers because of overlap.

I hope this makes sense. I have included a graphic to show what I mean.

So, I need to see cumulative last size and volume bars, but without volume numbers.
