Hi Team,
I'm trying to get Sierra Charts set up so that I can see the heat map behind the ES price candles. I've watched a number of You Tube videos and had it somewhat working but not exactly showing key heatmap levels. But I can't get the settings right to show the heatmap consistently. The ES roll today deleted my heatmap as well. Here are my 1) Study settings for the "Market Depth Historical Graph" in 2 screenshots, and here's my chart in the 3rd screenshot. I can't seem to get the bars for the heat map to show up so what settings should i change? i tried adjusting the "highest quantity for coloring" to 50 and "lowest quantity for coloring" to 0 But these don't seem to work. Is there a support board that I can read that has a simple setup for this?

Thank you,

Daniel

There is no magical set of numbers that we can give you to make the Market Depth Historical Graph work as you want it. It is a complex study with a lot of interaction between the settings, so you have to find what works best for you.

The information for the study can be found here:
