I'm subscribed to SC real time data feed for U.S equities.

I've noticed that the Market Data Column on my chart shows only one
bid size and one ask size for the current inside Bid/Ask quote.

Although it shows the one with the larger quantity of all other bids/offers for that price level,
how do I set it so that it gives me the sums of all the rest of B/A for that same price level?
Again, I'm referring only to the inside Bid/Ask price level, I don't need farther price levels.

By the way, this software is so shockingly ahead of any other software I ever used so thank you :)

So I added a screen shot of a standard Level 2 window with a SC 2 sec bar chart with Market Data Column activated (to the left of the scale).

You can see that the Ask size on Market Data Column shows 31, but in reality that's one part of the inside ask size, which at that point is 33 (31+2).
The same goes for the Bid size on Market Data Column. It shows a size of 3 but the actual inside bid size is 4 (3+1).

Essentially I noticed that Market Data Column only shows one order (the largest one) on the inside B/A but not all the size regarding that specific price level

I emphasize that I talk only about the inside B/A size values, but not the values beyond that.

We have no control over this. With the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and the US equities data, you are receiving, this is the best bid and ask data provided. Once again this is not within our control.
