Question about market depth historical graph

Is there a way to have functionality like Bookmap where the shading is based on the visible price levels? So if I change the price scale (but not the visible bars) the shading changes accordingly.

Yes, there is the option to have the shading determined from All Bars or just from Visible Bars. Refer to the information for this here:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Determine Min and Max Levels from All Bars or Visible Bars

We do not understand what you mean exactly by changing the Price Scale will change the shading. The one thing we can think that you may be asking is if the shading changes as prices are moved above or below the visible area of the screen. This does not happen. Even when the option above is set to Visible Bars, it is taking into account the entire bar, not just what is actually visible height-wise.

Let's say your scale is 50 - 100 and there's a large order of 100 at 75 while the rest are just 1s. Lets say there's another order of 500 at 150. In Bookmap if my scale is 50 - 100 the 100 would show up as a red bar while the rest would be a neutral color. Now in Bookmap if I shift my price scale to include the 500 at 150, the 100 would turn yellow and then the 150 would become red. Notice how I only changed the price scale, and didn't make more/less bars visible. Is this possible in SC? When I tried it it didn't seem to work that way.

It does not work that way in Sierra Chart. All the Market Depth within a bar is taken into account when determining the coloring. So the price scale does not matter, just the time scale if you are determining the Max and Min from the Visible Bars.

Got it. Thanks for the response. Would it be possible to add this functionality? This is the one feature that’s missing for me, everything else works great.
