Hi, I desperately want to end my Bookmap subscription as I feel Sierra Chart is light years ahead with better DOM too. I can't get market depth historical to come even close to Bookmap's though. I've studied what they do and Sierra's could be 95% like Bookmap and probably even better if 1) Have more than 3 settings for % or actual numbers. I would have at least 10. 2) Use color gradients between one number and other. There are many RGB gradient generators out there and its possible for Sierra to say between 50 and 75 contracts use a gradient between color of 50 and color of 75. This would let us SEE and intuitively feel the order book liquidity changes. So to recap 10 would be fine if you can create the gradients between them otherwise 20 is likely needed so we can use online RGB gradient generators and do it ourselves. Right now the colors are far too blocky and unattractive compared to Bookmap. Jigsaw's suffer from similar flaws but at least they have 7 color levels, their biggest problem is not letting users adjust % or actual value for each level. Please put this high on your list as a good heatmap makes traders MONEY! Far more than likely anything else, its a true edge. I know the bid/ask pulling stacking does something similar but I want to enter at/near high liquidity levels so can minimize stop distance.
