Team - I am unable to see volume bars for equities heatmap. Could see them for futures. Attached are the images. I duplicated the future chart and changed the symbol to SPY. I could see volume bars in futures chart but not on SPY chart. Could you please let me know what is needed to see equity heatmap with volume.

Best Regards,
Chak

We ran a test and you should see the best bid and ask data depth levels on the chart.

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

After this reconnect to the data feed:

Updated global symbol settings. I can see best bid and offer but not the market depth for SPY. Checked even in trading DOM. Is it not available in Sierra data feed?

Yes there is not market depth data available beyond the best level with the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed for stocks.

Oops, any tips on how else I could get depth data with Sierra chart front end? FCMs dont provide equity depth data. Thats why I signed up for sierra data feed.

You can get market depth data for equities from Interactive Brokers:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Accessing Level 2 / Market Depth Data for Stocks

And possibly sometime this year we may be able to offer market depth data for equities as well. It is something we are looking into.
