Can you tell me why my heat map looks like this? It seems to only show liquidity close to actual price and nowhere else.

Thank you

There is nothing wrong with this. It just shows that there are large Market Depth volumes that track the charts. This is normal, as people are putting their Targets and Stops above/below the current price.

If there is something specific about this that you are asking about, then we need to know what exactly you are asking about.

You can see the same effect, it is just more pronounced due to the settings you have. What you are seeing is due to the settings for the Market Depth Historical Graph. In particular look at the items related to the Maximum Value to color.
