Hi, I really want to be able to adjust my DOM sometimes in NQ 25-30 points other times 75+ and see the market depth based on THAT range. Can this be done and if not please add this critical and also how Bookmap works I believe. Most times I want wider levels to see where liquidity is but once IN TRADE I want to see maybe 20 points so if long I can see BIDS STACKING below or offers being yanked all visibly and intuitively. I did this manually today and it helped me so much as much as any one method could but having to keep changing that number is a pain. Thanks |

We are not really understanding the request. It sounds like you are asking to have the Market Depth only displaying in the visible area of the DOM. But what does it matter if there are more levels that you do not see. So this is not making sense to us. Are you asking about combining the levels in some way so that they are more readable based on the size of the DOM? Something in the way the Market Depth Historical Graph does this with the "Automatic Combine Increment Adjustment Value"? Or is it something else?

Hi Yes ABSOLUTELY only want to see the VISIBLE parts of the DOM because otherwise the scaling is off. Say 20 points out of view there's a 750 contract offer that will scale SMALLER every other level. Here is pic to show why this is so important. On left you can see the nearby levels on right due to HUGE order not even visible on the screen it makes all the other levels look small. Can't even visibly out of the corner of your eye SEE BIDS OR OFFERS increasing but you can when its a small limited number of bids/offers. Yesterday for instance I had bought and saw the bids kept stacking with a bit of sell pressure and there were slightly more bids under than offers above. Very clear market was likely to keep going up for awhile. No way to see this with how it is now without me constantly adjusting it. Another solution that would work is hotkeys that can adjust this. I use a Stream Deck with tons of buttons/macros so could with hotkey adjust on the fly. I'd be ok with that solution too as sometimes I keep it at 80-100 levels and other times 20-30 especially when in trade want to see other market participants supporting trade I'm in or will move stop/target or exit trade. |

So this is really about the Volume Bar and how it is calculated. We have noted the request to have the Volume Bar only show for the visible values in the DOM. If it something else, then we still need more information, as we are not understanding.
