Hello,
When I enlarge the chart to display more bars, some of the market depth colors disappear, even on the latest real-time bars (red arrow in attached image).
The problem also occurs with zoom.

The coloring may be based on the visible bars, so as you change the bars that are in sight, the colors will change. Refer to the following Input for that study:

Thank you, but that leads to another error. That's why I had to leave "Visible bars" selected, because it's the one that represents reality, while the others don't.

But "Visible Bars" is also incorrect depending on whether the chart displays more bars or not.

I've noticed this difference between a bar chart and a "Number Bars" chart. Yet, the liquidity is the same. See attached image.

Yes, there will be a difference in how the study looks based on the setting for "Determine Min and Max Levels From". The display is not "wrong" it is just based on certain information based on how you have the inputs setup.

You need to determine which option gives you what you want to see. Refer to the options available at the following link:

No, nothing was working. But I finally found it.

In In:43, enter Yes.
In In:12, enter a value of +1 beyond the last number in In:23.

Just to be safe, I entered a value of 1 in In:8.

Now I get the correct color value based on the liquidity level, regardless of what's selected in In:36.
