Stack/Pull data

Hello.
Im trying to limit the data feeding the stack pull within the Numbers bar calculated data V2 study by means of "number of market depth levels within the chart settings tab market depth".

I would like any calculation being done based on 10 levels of bid/ask instead of all.

Plotting 2 charts with one having 40 for depth and calculation and another with 10 (see attached 1 chart) , results in the same value for SG-9 in the study (sum pull/stack ... )

I assume there either no way of limiting how many MD levels feed the indicator or Im doing it wrong.
Pls advise.

You can do this on a single chart by using the following setting:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Maximum Bid/Ask Market Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I followed your instruction for single chart.
I have 2 charts to compare.
I click on one to highlight it and follow your settings and change to 10.
Click apply and ok.

I then do the same for second chart but with 40.

Still both charts show almost the same values.
I even added highest h/l over N bars input length 1 to make sure maybe they fluctuate to different values.
But no luck.

The difference should be more obvious as one is fed by 40 levels and one is fed only by 10. Especially during the 1 min interval fluctuation.

Please advise.

Please add the Pulling/Stacking columns to the DOMs so you can see what the actual values are and that one is limited to 10 levels and the other to 40. Additionally, you should also be able to see the sum of the Pulling/Stacking at the top/bottom of the numbers (you may have to compress your chart to see these). They should match up to what is in your Numbers Bars Calculated Values study.

I followed your instruction. The result is partly correct in the way, that once I change from 10 to 40 MAX, I can see the change in the amount of levels being calculated but, that part of your solution stating that for each single chart this would be set by choosing one DOM , is in correct, meaning, when I change for one DOM, the other receives the same update and changes also from 10 to 40 or any other change.

So back to my original question, how can I have one chart fed by X levels and the other by 2X
pls advise

Sorry, we were confusing a few of the settings. What you are seeing is correct - the setting for the number of Pulling/Stacking levels is a global setting, so it will change the number of levels for both charts. The only total solution would be to use a separate instance (File >> New Instance) and set up the number of levels separately there. Refer to the following for more information on sub-instances:
