Historical Market Depth Study Issue

View Count: 115

Hi there,

When I tried to control the number of depth levels I wanted to view in the HMD research, I discovered that it was interfering with the filtering rather than changing levels. For instance, everything appears fine in an i1.png, but I observed that the study was being filtered when I set the maximum depth levels to 200. Please find the attachment.

It is not filtering as you are thinking. You are setting the Highest and Lowest quantity for coloring based on the Maximum Value. When you change the number of levels, the maximum value must have changed when you changed the levels, which then changes how the colors will be displayed.

I set the study inputs to Highest = 20, Lowest = 10, and Number of Max Levels to Display = 0. With these settings, the study displays correctly as I expect (please see attached image SC1).

However, when I change only the Number of Max Levels to Display input to 100, the entire visualization of the study changes in an unexpected way (please see attached image SC2).

My goal is to see more levels (up to 100) while keeping the original display based on the Highest and Lowest inputs. Why does increasing the max levels setting alter the entire view, and how can I fix this?

When you change the number of levels, the Maximum value must be changing. This will affect the Highest and Lowest values for coloring and hence affect the specific coloring values. You need to adjust your percentages and/or colors based on what you are seeing.
