I'm looking for guidance on how to set up MDHG. I'm seeing an issue right now where i'm getting flashes of brighter plots on lower book values. That is to say, I'm seeing a very bright plot at a price with a book value of 360, and a very dull plot on a price level with a value of 420. Not what i would expect, and this isn't happening all the time. it is sporadic. I'm using the SC Data feed and CQG for routing. I can take screen shots of this occurring, and i can take video of it, but there's no way to post those. I also see very bright spots appear with virtually no change to the book at that price level, and the values shown at those prices are no where near the book max. those bright levels only seem to last a second or two then go away and leave just a blip plotted on the chart. i understand this can happen when spoofing occurs, but that would require the book value to increase. in this case book value is NOT increasing but i'm still getting the bright spots. its acting very erratic. Before i actually call it a problem i'd like to make sure i haven't caused it by my settings. i'm trying to create one graduated scale of color, from low to high, using the max book value as the high, and cutting off the low at 60%, using percentage values, not actual. To help accomplish this i've entered "0, .01, .02" as my values for Input 23. I'm hoping to get the study to treat every level as Range 3 then graduate the color based on percentage. Input 32 is set to No. Input 12 is set to 800, so that should not be getting in the way. Input 8 set to 60. Input 5 set to 0. As I write this and look at my chart i now see that almost all the coloring has gone away. the max book value is 494, but that's not even lighting up in the plot. The study just seems to be very erratic. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-06-10 18:52:55

The first thing to do is to set your Percent Color Thresholds to 0, 0, 0. This will force the coloring to only use the Range 3 colors. As you have them now, there are some small values (less than .02%) that will show the Maximum colors for Range 0, Range 1, and Range 2. Also, refer to this section of the documentation for how coloring is determined to help figure out how to set things up: Market Depth Historical Graph: Block Coloring Logic But we think the above change will take care of your issue.
