The option for Record Market Depth is still present in the symbol settings. You just need to scroll down to find it. The items are not in alphabetical order, so you need to search through the entire list to find it. We have attached an image that shows it in the list.

Great. Thank you. one other question, for the number of depth levels, I would like to have as much as I can without impacting performance. wondering if you have recommendations - assuming that I need to fill this in the next row, right?

There are 3 different options when it comes to limiting the Market Depth for performance.

1. Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> SC Server Settings >> Max Depth Levels: When using one of the Sierra Chart Data Feeds, this limits the number of levels that are actually received in the system. Refer to the information here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DataSourceSettings.php#MaxDepthLevels

2. Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings 3 >> Maximum Market Depth Levels: This limits the display of Market Depth Data in the DOM. Refer to the information here:
Chart Settings: Maximum Market Depth Levels (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu)

3. Market Depth Historical Graph >> Maximum Levels to Display: This controls the number of levels that are displayed in the Market Depth Historical Graph. Refer to the information here:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Maximum Levels to Display (0 for All)

Thanks. I am going to adjust. if you have a recommendation for how many levels that usually don't affect performance then I would appreciate it. otherwise, I will just try and see

You just have to try and see. We cannot answer that question.

Also you can control the number of market depth level subscribe to per individual symbol. The Symbol Setting for that is currently supported.
