Rithmic vs CQG depth of market

Postby rondawes » 21 May 2020

I understand that Rithmic provides more levels on their DOM for futures than the 10 levels of CQG. Is that correct? If so, how many levels are available on ES for example? Can someone post a shot of their DOM with Rithmic? Thanks!

Hello rondawes,

MultiCharts DOM displays up to 10 levels of market depth.

The limit of Multicharts DOM is 10 levels regardless datafeed DOMlevels ?
Why not more DOM levels ? Why limit the DOM ?

Hello CrazyNasdaq,

The limit was introduced for stability reasons. Some instruments have multiple levels and using all of them might deteriorate the performance.

Given the increased power of PCs these days and the market volatility, how difficult would it be to add an option to the DOM settings to specify the levels of depth?
Default it to 10 by all means but give the user the option to increase it. There are many platforms that are able to support full depth these days so shouldn't be an issue for MC either I would hope.

Hello,

The developers are planning to remove this limit in one of the future versions.

Oh that would be really great. As I say, if they are concerned about performance, perhaps give us an option and default it to 10 but let us change it for those that need the extra depth.

Thanks Svetlana.
