Cursor depth display + heatmap sensitivity controller — two tools in one study
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
