Market Depth Manager combines two functionalities into one study: a cursor-based depth quantity display and a heatmap sensitivity controller with ACS buttons.
Shows the market depth quantity at the cursor position as a text overlay. As you move your cursor across the chart, the study reads historical or real-time depth data and displays the bid or ask quantity at that price level.
Block size: Configure how many consecutive tick levels are summed together (1-10). A block size of 1 shows individual tick depth; higher values aggregate nearby levels for a broader view.
Quantity mode:
Toggle the depth display on or off with a single ACS button.
Four ACS buttons control the Lowest and Highest Quantity for Coloring parameters of an external heatmap study:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Decrease Lowest Qty | Lower the minimum coloring threshold |
| Increase Lowest Qty | Raise the minimum coloring threshold |
| Decrease Highest Qty | Lower the maximum coloring threshold |
| Increase Highest Qty | Raise the maximum coloring threshold |
The current values are displayed as fixed-position text on the chart:
High: 115
Low: 90
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Combine Tick Block Size | 1 | Number of ticks to aggregate (1-10) |
| Toggle Display Button | 0 (disabled) | ACS button to show/hide depth text |
| Quantity Mode | Max | Max or Last depth quantity |
| Market Depth Historical Graph ID | 1 | ID of the external heatmap study |
| 4 ACS Buttons | 0 (disabled) | Decrease/Increase Lowest/Highest Qty |
| Depth Font Size | 20 | Depth overlay text size |
| Depth Text Color / Background | White / Dark | Depth overlay appearance |
| Quantity Display Font Size | 26 | Parameter text size |
| Quantity Text Color / Background | White / Dark | Param text appearance |
| Low Qty X/Y Position | 75% / 94% | Position of Lowest Qty text |
| High Qty X/Y Position | 75% / 98% | Position of Highest Qty text |
