Is there any way to prevent Market Depth heatmap from getting blown out?

Every day on NQ some joker comes in and drops 1000 lot order on the book then pulls it, effectively blowing out any contrast on the heatmap. Is there anything I can do about this via the settings? Nothing I change has any effect, but I'm guessing there might be a combination of settings I'm not aware of that could help.

If you know that the value is somewhere around 1000, then set the following in the Market Depth Historical Graph:
- Value Type for Highest Quantity for Coloring: Actual Value
- Highest Quantity for Coloring: 900 (or some other number that will cut off a high item like that)
