Place study values on the DOM ladder on both DOMTrader and Order Ticket, so that you don’t have to move between the trading application and a chart. To place an order based on study values
Right-click the study on the chart, then click Show <study name> On Trading Interface.
Only studies that can be placed as an overlay on a chart can be linked to the DOM. The Chart Analog Overlay (Analog) is an exception; it cannot be displayed.
The study values are maintained on the DOM even if you:
•create a new tab with this symbol;
•open a new DOM with this symbol;
•change the symbol on the chart;
•change the study or its parameters;
•change or restore the page;
•upgrade; or
•log off.
You can add up to twenty additional studies.
The study values are removed if you chose to remove them or if the symbol expires.
To add study values
1. Open a chart and add a study.
2. Right-click the price label associated with study, and click Show [study name] on trading application.
The DOM displays squares, in the same colors as the study lines, on the price row that corresponds to the study curve price value, like this:
When you hover the mouse over the study value square, the study value box tooltip pops up. It includes: the study name, the price, the symbol, the parameters, and the chart interval (in this case, 5-minute).
If a study has several lines, such as the Moving Average Cross, each line is represented on DOMTrader according to the color of the line on the chart. If study values are at the same price, the study value square alternates color every second.
To select your rounding preference
If the study value is not aligned to the tick size (applies to compressed data also), then it is rounded.
1. Right-click the study icon (square) on the DOM ladder.
2. Select [Study] value rounding, and then select the method. You have three choices:
•Use standard rounding method (default): If study curve value is not aligned to the visible tick size, then it shall be rounded to the closest visible row according to standard mathematical rules.
•Round toward the current price: If study curve value is not aligned to the visible tick size, then it shall be rounded to the closest visible row located to the market direction.
•Round away from the current price: If study curve value is not aligned to the visible tick size, then it shall be rounded to the closest visible row located out of the market direction.
To remove study values
Right-click the study icon (square) and then select your removal choice:
•Remove the study from this individual trading application.
•Remove the study from all trading applications.
•Remove all studies from all applications for a particular symbol.
