Market Depth Historical Graph – Inconsistent Depth Levels on Chart

Hi Sierra Chart Support,

I’m using the Market Depth Historical Graph and I noticed something unusual. In some sections of the chart (especially older data), the yellow depth levels appear sparse and spaced out, while in recent sections the depth is much denser and consistent. (As you can see on the left side of the attached photo)
I made many changes to the settings but it didn't work.
I’d appreciate your help in understanding what’s causing this difference and how to ensure consistent and complete depth data going forward.

Thanks in advance,

Show the actual market depth quantity numbers so you can understand what the values are at each price level. Refer to this Input setting:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Show Quantity Numbers

If you are missing Market Depth data for a period, then refer to the following for how to download missing Market Depth data:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Downloading Of Historical Market Depth Data

Also be sure you understand how you are setting the colors relative to the values. The Highest Value for Coloring and Lowest Value for Coloring will have a great impact on what is actually seen, along with the Input for "Determine Min and Max Levels from All Bars or Visible Bars". Refer to the information for these Inputs at the following link:
