Post From: Market Depth Historical Graph - Help with settings

I'm trying to figure out good settings for this study. It seems like no matter what I do, its not pleasing. One particular issues deals with scrolling. When you encounter some outrageous BID/ASK, all the colors change. Please refer to images C and D, and I mark at D that one ASK which flashed causing colors to readjust. This issue becomes apparent especially when you have 2 charts beside eachother but different time frames. (ie. A 1 minute chart which is showing 2 hours, and a 5 second chart which might only show 20 minutes. Because the 5 second chart might not have some thick levels displayed, the colors re-calculate and look different)

I'm not sure if this can be fixed via just better settings, or if it needs extra inputs or improvement from Sierra. In the last attachment, I show a screenshot from Bookmap which visually appears excellent.

Ideally, I would like the study to show the colors exactly the same for depth levels in the same range. (ie. between 50-100 contracts always the same color, and 100-200, 200-300, etc). Then if there is all of a sudden an ASK of 1000 contracts, it wouldn't re-adjust all the colors, but rather, show it in a different prominent color. It seems like the way it works now, its always re-adjusting colors. I can see how on some days its good, slow days with large displayed bids/offers vs. fast days with minimal liquidity, but the changing nature of this study lacks consistency.

If anyone has any samples to show, it would be appreciated.
