See attached pic, I have already limited the number of price digits to show in the column, but there is still lots of wasted space in the column. Is there a setting that I can change to reduce this column spacing? tks

The width of that column is automatically managed. One thing you can try to do is select Chart >> Recalculate and see if it resizes smaller.

See attached pic, I have already limited the number of price digits to show in the column, but there is still lots of wasted space in the column. Is there a setting that I can change to reduce this column spacing? tks The only work around I've found is a custom study written to address this specific issue by Frozen Tundra. It copies the price into the label column (or GP1 / GP2). Since it uses GDI tool for drawing you can't have Open GL enabled on your DOM instance. The easiest way is to just add the label column next to price. Then add the study and adjust the colors/alignment etc.. to what you want. Then you can hide the values scale via the chart settings and that will remove the prices from the original price column. Then in your DOM columns just move that one all the way down off to the side. You can adjust the Label/GP1/GP2 columns smaller than the price. The price one seems stuck/fixed to a minimum size. It would be nice if you can adjust it down further based on how many digits you are using for price. But until then, this is a work around. Here is an example before/after and the study settings: Study download link is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FrozenTundraTrader/sierrachart/main/price_in_label.cpp You can download the cpp file and put in your C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source folder and then do a remote build and it should work. Analysis->Build Custom Study->Select the file->Build/Remote Build

Bump to this: Sierra Support - Can we please get the ability to adjust the sizing of the price column natively for DOMS? Or at least allow it auto shrink to the 'Limit Price Displayed to N Right Characters' value (which is the expected behavior)? Things like Currencies and Treasury Bonds take up a lot of unnecessary space, and limit amount of DOMS able to be displayed - especially with small screens. Ideally Alignment should be adjustable as well and behave as follows: Right Align - Margin on Right therefore left hand digits should disappear as price column shrinks Left Align - Margin on Left - right digits disappear as price column shrinks

+1 also for the native adjustable price column. Every millimeter count when we try to fit 5-6 DOMs in one screen. The custom study made by Frozen Tundra is great but it has some bugs. The last price box sometimes dissapear at certain levels on certains symbols (like RTY and SI). Another great feature to have to free space would be to be able to delete the buy column and sell column when using Combined bid/ask size column. It would be usefull for the symbols we just want to monitor and not to trade. I know it is possible to hide these 2 columns by setting them on the far left and schrinking the window... but if we do that, we cannot use a volume profile. Talking about Volume Profile... I've already seen a few posts asking for being able to move the Volume Profile in another column, so we can show it on the right side of the DOM. It would be great to give DOM users the possibility to do that. These are only some advices to improve the already best DOM available on the market ! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-12-18 17:10:32

I'd love this implemented. Reducing the number of digits shown helps a bit, but the wasted real estate when using multiple doms adds up big. Thanks @SC
