Sorry this has taken so long to get back to you but this was a difficult to thing to figure out. The pattern of a blank bar and then market depth filling in is related to a situation where a bar is drawn that is actually between the Chart Update Interval. At that point, there is no Market Depth data to associate with that bar, therefore the system thinks of that data as having not been updated at that time, which is why there will be a blank space if you do not have the option for Extend Last Known Depth set to Yes. Then, as the Market Depth updates on newer bars, it fills in those areas where it is receiving the market depth again. Every 10 minutes the system flushes the cached Market Depth Data to the file, which is why there will be a full set of Market Depth every 10 minutes. There are two ways to work around this. The first, and easiest, is simply to use the option for Extend Last Known Depth. This will fill in those spaces where no depth updates have occurred. The second way would be to decrease the Chart Update Interval to something that would cover the time frame of the bars, or at least come close to minimize what you are seeing.
