Market Depth Data vs DOM Data

[TheFil]

Quick question on where the data for the Market Depth visualization comes from seeing as DOM data is only 10 levels deep... I subscribe to L2 via Continuum

Thanks in advance for the clarification!

Hello TheFil,

Thank you for your reply.

It would actually work off 20 levels of depth, you get 10 on the ask side and 10 on the bid side. Both the DOM and the Order Flow Market Depth indicator would get that data from OnMarketDepth:

Thanks NinjaTrader_Kate,

I was referring to the Depth Chart, actually... so in the visual below, for example, there is data for +/- 20 index points (80 levels of depth); my question is where does that data come from and how is the data "controlled" in the sense that in the DOM there are10 levels per side visible but obviously for the Depth Chart you need data beyond those levels of depth to construct the Depth Chart...

Thanks so much.

Hello TheFil,

Thank you for your clarification.

I did some digging, and it appears that for certain instruments, if you're using a CQG based connection, more than 10 levels are available. In my testing with NinjaTrader Continuum, which is CQG based, CL and ES specifically have more levels than say, NQ. What you're seeing is all of those price levels coming through.
