I attached a screenshot. Why do 2 time frames (1 and 3 min) show such a big difference with 100% identical study settings?

We can not say for sure, as we do not know your settings for the Market Depth Historical Graph, but keep in mind that with a 1 minute time frame and a 3 minute timeframe, the 3 minute chart is going to have approximately 3 times higher Market Depth data than the 1 minute chart. Therefore, you would need to ensure that your settings are dealing with this properly.

Ok, i totally dont understand market depth then. Why does a 3min chart have 3 times higher market depth data? Shouldnt there be the same amount of order volume at any price level regardless of the timeframe?
That would make sense to me if the study sums up the order volume over time at any give price. But thats not how the study works, right?

Is the Market Depth Historical Graph set to show the maximum depth quantity at a price level?

Sorry - we made a mistake with our earlier statement, we were thinking of a different study. But it does depend somewhat on what you are displaying (Last versus Max). But there are a lot of factors that can play into differences between charts with the study.

We need to get your charts in order to look at how you have the studies setup. There are too many options with the Market Depth Historical Graph for us to figure it out by going back and forth.

Refer to the following for how to get us a Chartbook with the two charts in it (ignore the 1 chart reference, in your case, we need both of them):
