hi SC support,

thank you for your amazing product!

i want to follow up 2 things:

[[1]] on post #15, #19, #20 by User839162 - this is definitely an important feature that i hope can be added:

I want there to be a base highlight on the RECENT bid/ask. Look at the Jigsaw picture again. You can clearly see that Jigsaw highlights both of the recent bid/ask. The price that has 50 on the Recent Bid/Ask is White and 377 is Yellow. They have a base highlight color (WHITE) and a highlight for what's currently hitting the bid/ask.

Here is another image to clear up any confusion.

any chance we can get this highlight for both bid/ask for whats currently being hit?

[[2]] i want inquire about
This setting does not apply when the Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change is set, as the Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change will override the need for a trade and reset the values based on the price movement
from Global Trade Settings Windows: Recent Bid Ask Volume Timeout in Milliseconds (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

on jigsaw, the two options ("Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change" & "Recent Bid Ask Volume Timeout in Milliseconds") are NOT mutually exclusive... i was wondering if we implement the reset & timeout just like jigsaw?

here is how it could work:
(A) Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change is set

(B) Recent Bid Ask Volume Timeout in Milliseconds is set to 2500

logic:
as the Bid or Ask price moves off one value and then back again, the Recent Bid/Recent Ask volume is reset to 0 if it returns more than the timeout value AND nothing is traded


Example 1: The initial Bid Price is 6575 and accumulates a volume of 2. The Bid Price then moves to 6576 and accumulates trades with a total volume of 3. The Bid Price then returns to 6575 in less than 2500 milliseconds and NOTHING TRADES. In this case, the Recent Bid volume at the price of 6575 is not reset and continues to accumulate now starting at a value of 2.

Example 2: The initial Bid Price is 6575 and accumulates a volume of 2. The Bid Price then moves to 6576 and accumulates trades with a total volume of 3. The Bid Price then returns to 6575 in less than 2500 milliseconds and another trade occurs with a volume of 1. In this case, the Recent Bid volume at the price of 6575 is not reset and continues to accumulate now starting at a value of 3.

Example 3: The initial Bid Price is 6575 and accumulates a volume of 2. The Bid Price then moves to 6576 and accumulates trades with a total volume of 3. The Bid Price then returns to 6575 in more than 2500 milliseconds and NOTHING TRADES. In this case, the Recent Bid volume at the price of 6575 is reset to 0.

Example 4: The initial Bid Price is 6575 and accumulates a volume of 2. The Bid Price then moves to 6576 and accumulates trades with a total volume of 3. The Bid Price then returns to 6575 in more than 2500 milliseconds and another trade occurs with a volume of 1. In this case, the Recent Bid volume at the price of 6575 is reset and starts to accumulate at a value of 1.


thank you very much in advance for your support
