DEPTH Tab β DOM (Depth of Market)
The DEPTH tab in GoCharting Scalpro provides a professional, real-time DOM (Depth of Market) interface that empowers traders to make high-speed, volume-based decisions with confidence and accuracy.
π Key Features of the Depth Tab
πͺ Real-Time Bid/Ask Ladders
- The DOM displays live bid and ask ladders for selected strike prices.
- Each price level shows:
- Bid Size (Blue): Number of contracts buyers are willing to buy.
- Ask Size (Red): Number of contracts sellers are willing to sell.
- Order Queues: See how deep the order book is at each level.
- Helps identify support and resistance zones based on order concentrations.
π Place, Modify & Cancel Orders Instantly
- Click on any bid to place a Buy Limit Order at that price.
- Click on any ask to place a Sell Limit Order.
- Once an order is placed, it appears visually on the ladder.
- Modify or cancel orders directly from the DOM with one click.
π DOM Columns Explained
Each DOM panel (as seen in the screenshot) includes:

Bid | Buy order quantities at each price level |
Sell | Sell order quantities at each price level |
Price | Strike prices arranged from high to low (middle) |
