Version 2237, charting ES. After I rolled to the June contract the market depth hist graph is way out of whack. Please see the attached images.

Check the Scale Range for the chart and the study. Both need to be Automatic.

Those are set to Automatic. Look at the Market Depth Quantities and then look at the bid/ask. They don't match.

What do you have for the Input for Depth Quantity Type to Display After Last Bar? This would need to be set to Last Depth to match the Bid/Ask in the DOM.

No that is not it. Something is not right. I put arrows on the image. I never had all the zigzags that the arrow on the left is pointing to. The arrow on the right shows how it normally looks and then after it scrolls left it goes to zig zags. The market depth is following the bid/ask prices on the chart. I'm looking at the study settings and I don't see what has changed.

Based on what we see, it looks like it is the setting for the Lowest Quantity for Coloring, but there are so many options to this study that it is hard to pinpoint.

Therefore, just attach a Chartbook with just that chart in it and we will take a look. You can do this by following these instructions:

I am also having issues with market depth after rolling to the June contract. Have you resolved this conr?

I just got back from lunch and it's back to normal. Didn't touch a thing.

John, so there are 2 of us that had the exact same problem. Any thoughts?

What did you have the "Value Type for Lowest Quantity for Coloring", "Lowest Quantity for Coloring" and "Determine Min and Max Levels from All Bars or Visible Bars" set to?

I don't recall specifically but I can tell you that I played with all those settings and nothing changed. Regarding your post #4 I tried both settings and it changed nothing. I do have a thought and it probably can't happen but it almost seems that The June and March contracts somehow didn't make a clean roll. While price showed the June number it's as if the bid/ask numbers were incorrect. I'll be out until Wednesday so I can't do anything further.
