I'm assuming your asking about the columns for the DOM in Sierra Chart?
This is for version 1500 of Sierra Chart (I'm not sure exactly when some of the features were added, but I try to stay fairly current with the version).
You can get to the column specification screen (first attached pic) via either the Pull Down Menu (Trade->Customize TradeDOM Columns) or the Menu button on the Trade Window.
The colors are set, as the second pic shows, via the Pull Down menu (Global Settings->Graphics Settings - Global).
In the following link (https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=23338) Sierra responds a question about the difference between the Sierra and Transact data feed and state that there is very little difference unless you need very accurate Bid/Ask Volume.
However, I am curious to know who provides the Infinity/Transact feed since there are relatively few providers. Licensed Market Data Distributors
Hi, I have never done the comparison with Infinity, but I will do it soon. However I can tell you that I did a similar comparison between Rithmic and CTS. If you look at the ladder you will see substantial differences, in particular if you compare the stackin of bids and offers, they differ really a lot. I use SierraChart's DOM, that I customized to look like Jigsaw, the main differences are:
1) stacking of bid/offer: in CTS there are many more big orders, for instance in /ES you will see many big order stackin up in offer/bid side 300 or 200 lots, while in Rithmic you will see maximum some 100 lot orders.
2) Market order (inside columns in Jigsaw): it seems strange but in CTS you see many more orders that in Rithmic you just don't see, I cannot explain this honestly.
It seems as though in Rithmic everything is "scaled down", I guess orders are "grouped" differently.
A part from this, the FOOTPRINT chart is EXACTLY THE SAME, you will find not even a one digit discrepancy in the footprint, and this makes me really comfortable.
Also, the limit orders resting on the ladder are the same for both Rithmic and CTS, except that with Rithmic I can see the full ladder.
I cannot explain the difference in the footprint chart that you described, I know this post is old, so I hope now these differences do not exist anymores.
