SC, Can you please add a way to do the following settings with ACSIL for a given chart number? 1) Market Depth Combine Increments in Ticks 2) Maximum Market Depth Levels I can reload the chart after changing these settings as necessary. Thanks. Have a great day! |

1. Refer to the following: ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.SetChartStudyInputInt() 2. We are curious what the use case is that you would need to be changing the Maximum Market Depth levels often.

These are chart level settings so I don't think I can change it with sc.SetChartStudyInputInt(). I wish all the existing chart level settings were available to be read/modified via ACSIL. By default, all new settings also should be added to ACSIL, IMO, even if they are not documented. The use case -- When I switch from one instrument to another (typically, on a given day, there will be many stocks in the watchlist) there are many things that need to be adjusted before the chart is usable. 1) Tick size 2) Constant range for the price scale 3) Horizontal Grid Line increment 4) Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks -- otherwise, the DOM looks crowded with numbers that cannot easily be read 5) Maximum Market Depth Levels -- this also gets affected when #4 changes above 6) Symbol change I change these programmatically (for the ones available via ACSIL) as a group. I do the same for all the studies as well in the same operation. Finding and changing these setting manually takes a long time and it is too many clicks. Doing it programmatically finishes under 1 second. |

Hi, Adjusting Market Depth Combine Increments in Ticks in the Chart Settings each time I change the instruments in the chart is getting somewhat cumbersome. Is there a chance this one setting can be modified via ACSIL soon, please? I day trade momentum and I choose stocks that show up on a scanner so I have to switch the instrument many times in a day. Thanks. |

Hi SC team, Please enable the stated ability to set all the parameters specified in #3 via ACSIL, specially those relative to Market Depth Combine increments. In my case, I have a script that will set the Volume Profile "Ticks per Volume Bar" setting automatically depending on the visible ticks on the screen, so that the VbP study is more understable. I would like to extend that same setting to the market depth columns in the Chart Trading DOM but it doesn't seem possible. Thanks. |

We will add functions for these: Can you please add a way to do the following settings with ACSIL for a given chart number? 1) Market Depth Combine Increments in Ticks 2) Maximum Market Depth Levels I can reload the chart after changing these settings as necessary.

Let me please explain why this change would help a lot. I'm trading stocks, and every ticker requires its unique setting for these 4 settings, for the DOM to be usable (because of the wide price range of different stocks): - Market Depth Combine Increments in ticks - Maximum market depth levels - Scale Increment - Horizontal Grid Line Increment --> Auto Scale the Chart Dom It is very tedious to do this manually every time you change ticker (which is very often), so if it would be possible to have these settings changed via ACSIL study, that would help A TON. |

You can do all of those things in ACSIL, the market depth ones were included in 2876. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-04-14 13:31:02

I hadn't realized, Thank you! I couldn't find any functions for "maximum market depth levels". Have this also been implemented? |
