Outside Liquidity

What is the Outside Liquidity Add-on?

As the name suggests, this add-on shows liquidity that is outside the visible part of a heatmap. Liquidity is a sum of the sizes from price levels. You can see the difference between asks and bids in the inside corners of an active heatmap. The indicators in the inside corners on the left show the values that correspond to the time at the left end of the chart. The indicators in the right corners correspond to the timeline or the right edge time.

Configuration

Indicator mode

On this panel you can choose the way indicators will be shown.

Show the bid and ask liquidity

With this checkbox selected, you will see standard indicators in the 4 corners of the active heatmap. The add-on will sum the size of every price level above the limit for the top indicators and price levels below the limit for the bottom ones. By default, the limits are the first price levels above and below the visible screen.

Show the difference between the bid and ask liquidity

With “Show the difference between the bid and ask liquidity” selected, you will see only 2 indicators in the bottom corners of the active heatmap: These will show the delta of bids and asks. If the bids liquidity is bigger, the icon will be green, otherwise, it will be red.

Limits on price levels

Here you can configure what price levels will be calculated.

Limit the number of levels to be calculated

When checked, only limited number of price levels for bids and asks will be included in the calculations. You can select this number in the field on the left. In the example below, the add-on will include 10 levels above the screen and 10 levels below.

Include the liquidity on the price 0
