DOM skipped price levels

I think I recently made a change to some settings and I'm seeing a lot of price levels on my NQ DOM which do not have any lots traded. At first I thought this might simply be sweeping of orders on a this thin market ( NQ ) but I'm just not sure... seem excessive to me. Do I have something setup wrong? See attached image.

Thank you,

Anthony

Which column(s) in the image are you referring to in which no lots were traded and what are those columns?

The column with the label at the top "MS" ( Recent Bid Volume ) and the column with the label at the top "MB" ( Recent Ask Volume )...

You have the setting for "Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change", which means that whenever the price went to that level, it would clear the Bid or Ask, even if no trades occurred at that level. This could easily explain why you see blanks in that column. Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

But, it could also be due to the timing of when trades occur relative to the updating of those columns.
