This what you're looking for?

I tried this.. but when prices move away.. the DOM also moves with it.. i want it to be static so i can move my stop to BE and then center the DOM to trade out

i guess no static DOM on CQG?

If you swing trade its fine.. u can compress the DOM and move the stops.. but if u are scalping and the price moves away.. u now have to scroll back to your stop to move it and if it keeps moving u are scrolling.. then moving stop.. scrolling.. moving

unless there is a better way to do it?

Do you have a video you can share of the behavior you're looking for?

Ah, I see, thanks.


I've never seen that on CQG, I don't know if it's possible TBH.

when u have an order there is a red dot.. say at your stop or limit.. u can click on it.. u do whatever u want and center it again

but there is always an extra step.. involved in all this

I keep trying to push platform vendors to improve their product, I have no shame about this and after talking to many it turns out most are not traders so you can easily see how they get things wrong in terms of design.

On a CQG DOM, you can use responsive (no self centering) or dynamic (poorly named since I think this is static really)

With responsive, which is what I use, because I like to see price action, I use the Center button on the toolbar to center all doms at once, not the best solution but its better than centering doms individually. You can center any dom by double clicking on price too.

I really prefer something in between these which, like CTS's DOM, allows movement but ticks back to recenter itself slowly. I bugged Sierra about this for a while and they eventually changed their platform to allow a recenter based on user defineable # of ticks.

To me, the big things missing on CQG's dom is some form of auto recentering, and a flatten button

I don't have it open right now but IIRC you can also mouse middle-click on any DOM ladder and they will all center simultaneously.

Yes, that works well too
