How to Overlay Initial Balance on DOM in SierraChart

The free article below provides instructions about how to overlay the TPO Initial Balance Range on a Trade DOM in SierraChart. The original question was posted on the SierraChart Support Board here.

The chartbook demonstrates two options to overlay/display IBR related information on the DOM

[1] Copy Chart Drawings from other chart to the DOM automatically

• Check the DOM’s Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings >> Copy Chart Drawings from Chart # option to overlay any drawing from other charts.
• This overlays the Drawing left to the price scale of the DOM.
• In this example, the TPO POC level of Chart #2 was highlighted and automatically copied to the DOM window.
• Click here to read the SierraChart documentation of this function.

[2] Overlay Initial Balance Study from an external chart to the DOM

• Add the Initial Balance study to an external chart (in this example Chart #3) and overlay it to the DOM by adding the Study/Price Overlay study to the DOM.
• Depending on the settings of the overlaid study, this can display drawings, [1] left to the Price scale (green highlighting), [2] value labels on the Price scale or [2] text/value labels in the ‘Label Column’ of the DOM, if displayed.
• In this example the IB High/Low is overlaid as a green highlighting and the Mid point as an orange line.
• Name Labels of the study are displayed in the Label Column at the left side of the DOM. You can turn the Label Column ON, at Trade – Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns section.
• Label Column can be vertically positioned as you like, similar to other DOM columns.
• To adjust the graphics settings of the overlaid information (color, line type, etc), you need to modify the Study Subgraph Settings of the source chart’s (#3) IB study.
• Click here to read the SierraChart documentation of the Study/Price Overlay study.
