Market Depth Historical Graph study

View Count: 1199

I have a Numbers Bars study on a chart and about 25 bars fit in my chart window. There are more bars on the left if I scroll. For this example, assume that the price range for the visible bars is from 12900 to 13100 (for NQM2). Say, it is now 1:40 PM ET, and the day's range so far has been 12900 to 13200.

In this situation, the market depth visual with the Market Depth Historical Graph study only shows for 12900 to 13100 range even though it has data available for all the way up to a price of 13200. So, as the market is trying to break 13100 to go higher, I cannot leverage/visualize the previous market depth data from the same trading day for the 13100 to 13200 range.

Is there a way you can either add this enhancement or point me to a way to do this if the solution already exists?

Thanks.

The "Maximum Levels to Display" input is set to 0 in my study. That works as designed. It looks at all the bars that are visible (e.g. between sc.IndexOfFirstVisibleBar at 11:30 AM and sc.IndexOfLastVisibleBar at 1:30 PM) and determines the price range of those bars. From High to Low price range for the 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM time window, the Market Depth Historical Graph is drawing the levels. It is not drawing the levels for any additional price range above and below the 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM price range in the same trading session.

We need to see an image of your entire chart showing what you are seeing, as what you are describing should not be occurring, particularly with the "Maximum Levels to Display" set to 0.

Please do the following for us. On the Market Depth Historical Graph change these settings:
- Show Quantity Numbers: In Bars
- Use Secondary Numbers Color for Quantities Greater Than: 1

This will display the quantities in the Market Depth Historical Graph as red numbers (assuming you have not changed the secondary color).

Then get us another image of your chart.

Sorry, we did not notice this until just now. You are not getting the Market Depth data because you do not have an activated exchange that includes the Market Depth. This is why you are only seeing the data basically within the bar itself.

You can change the exchange options at the following link:
