We do not have a constant color gradient. You need to define the colors into the 4 categories of "Range Max Ask/Bid Color". If you want to essentially get a constant gradient, then set the option for "Use Range Minimum Colors" to "No". And then set your "Range x Max Ask/Bid Color" to give you the range you want. For instance, try setting the following:
- Range 3 Max Ask Color: Red
- Range 2 Max Ask Color: Yellow
- Range 1 Max Ask Color: White
- Range 0 Max Ask Color: Blue

If you want the Bids to have the same coloring then set them the same way.

Another item that is different is that Sierra Chart does not change the thickness of the information based on intensity. All the blocks are the same size.

There is a lot you can do with our Market Depth Historical Graph, but you need to understand how the items interact and what exactly you want. Be sure you go through the Inputs at the following link:

To get the Bid/Ask sizes displayed in columns in the DOM, make sure you have the "Trade >> Trading Chart DOM On" or "Trade >> Show Market Data Columns". Then be sure you have either the "Bid Size" and "Ask Size" columns displayed or the "Bid Size/Buy" and "Ask Size/Sell" columns
displayed. Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Sell Order Column - Left/Center/Right Aligned

There is not an option to display the Market Depth data with a size suffix (such as K, M, etc.). The numbers are only shown as the full integer.
