Ability to Have the Same Indicator Multiple Times on Chart w/ diff. Settings
As is popular on traditional charts with say Moving Average crosses - using the same indicator multiple times on same chart with different settings. It would be great to have such/such indicator on the chart with different settings to visually see how they react with different settings, just like how moving averages change with different settings on same chart. I hope that makes sense.

Great suggestion.
Stacking studies on the same chart allows for expanded display combinations. Currently, the only way to do so in Bookmap is to have the same custom add-on with a slightly different naming variation. i.e., Add_On1, Add_On2, ... This ability is available in Sierra Chart and Ninjatrader as well.
However, the next issue if this is implemented would be determining the display priority as far as which instance received display dominance when the two instances have a display that overlaps. Currently, Bookmap Add-Ons cannot be rearranged in the Add Ons panel. As a result, you would need to remove the add-ons and add them to the chart in the desired display sequence to determine priority.

As far as how to display, and hierarchy, can't it by inspired by other platforms where the data inputs are different, the color is usually different, and things like that?

Yes, it can be. The two features would need to be implemented at the same time. The hierarchy request was previously made to the Bookmap TraderMap-Pro Discord Channel by another users. I am including the hierarchy request with your post since it was relevant to how the drawings on the chart that most likely would overlap. The hierarchy would decide which drawing appears above the other.
