10Bottom study / placement
What it does

How to use it
Set Time or Ticks aggregation and its interval.
Side and bottom panels
The attached side column can display the available volume, delta or time-and-sales view and can be hidden. The bottom plot can show volume or delta as an overlay or a separate pane. Select the time or tick aggregation appropriate to your view.
VWAP appearance and scope
Heatmap settings → Chart provides VWAP color, thickness, opacity and line style. Heatmap VWAP is execution-volume weighted for the visible interval and resets at detected feed gaps; it is not automatically the full-session VWAP.
History and stop
Heatmap restores retained history for the specific instrument. Available depth history depends on what has been recorded and returned by the backend; an OHLC history request cannot recreate old order-book levels. Stop pauses the heatmap view. It does not cancel orders or disconnect the broker.
Attach or detach
Use floating controls to move the heatmap into a separate dashboard window. The DOM attachment option aligns their price levels when linked. Detach to navigate independently. Choose the same contract before comparing them.
