Aklamavo Dom Ladder

1. Basic Layout

The DOM displays three columns:

• Left Column: Bid Volume Ladder (using red color gradient)

• Middle Column: Price Levels

• Right Column: Ask Volume Ladder (using green color gradient)

2. Volume Display Options

Two modes for volume totals at the bottom:

Mode 1: Default (Total All Volumes)

• Bid Column Bottom: Shows "Total: [number]" - sum of ALL bid volumes

• Ask Column Bottom: Shows "Total: [number]" - sum of ALL ask volumes

• Price Column Bottom: Shows "Δ: [±number]" - delta = (ALL Ask volumes) - (ALL Bid volumes)

Mode 2: Relative to Current Price

• Bid Column Bottom: Shows "Bid Below: [number]" - sum of ONLY bid volumes BELOW current price

• Ask Column Bottom: Shows "Ask Above: [number]" - sum of ONLY ask volumes ABOVE current price

• Price Column Bottom: Shows "Δ: [±number]" - delta = (Ask volumes ABOVE) - (Bid volumes BELOW)

3. Delta Calculation & Color Coding

• Delta Formula: ALWAYS = ASK - BID (for both modes)

• Positive Delta (Green): More Ask volume than Bid volume (ASK > BID)

• Negative Delta (Red): More Bid volume than Ask volume (BID > ASK)

4. Visual Features

• Color Gradient: Each ladder uses 3-color interpolation (light to dark) based on volume ranking

• Current Price Highlight: Magenta highlight bar across all three columns at current price level

• Text Color Change: Current price row has black text for better visibility

• Headers: Each column has a header showing volume type (Tick/Real)

• Separator Lines: Gray vertical lines between columns

5. Customization Options

Input Parameters:

• Display position (Left/Right side of chart)

• Volume type (Tick volume or Real volume accumulation)

• Total display mode (All volumes or Relative to price)

• Number of rows to display (default 45)

• Color schemes for both ladders (3-color gradients each)

• Font sizes and colors for all text elements

• Rectangle dimensions

• Highlight colors

6. Functional Features

• Real-time Updates: Updates with market book events

• Dynamic Highlighting: Current price highlight follows market price

• Resize Handling: Adjusts to chart size changes

• Position Switching: Can display on left or right side of chart

• Volume Calculation: Supports both tick volume and accumulated real volume

• Price-based Filtering: In relative mode, only counts volumes above/below current price

7. Display Logic

• Bid Ladder: Uses ASK colors (red gradient) - higher volume = darker red

• Ask Ladder: Uses BID colors (green gradient) - higher volume = darker green

• Price Column: Shows price levels, current price row has black text

• Volume Bars: Width represents relative volume (wider = higher volume)

• Volume Text: Shows actual volume numbers aligned to edges of columns

8. Use Case Examples

For Order Flow Analysis:

• Use "Relative to Price" mode to see immediate pressure above/below current price

• Green delta = Ask pressure (potential resistance)

• Red delta = Bid pressure (potential support)

For Overall Market Depth:

• Use "All Volumes" mode to see total market interest

• Compare total bid vs ask volumes for overall bias

For Entry/Exit Decisions:

• Watch delta color changes at key price levels

• Monitor how volumes above/below current price change as price moves
