Liquidity Color on Bookmap

Futures Trading Platforms Bookmap

I noticed that the sell liquidity and the buy liquidity show as the same color.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to use different colors? Can i customize it?

Hi FlowonFlow,

If both sell and buy liquidity were the same color, then you would lose the reference between the two. You would be less able to compare for example 400 contracts on the bid versus 400 on the ask. Thus it is beneficial they are the same color. There are 3 different heatmap choices, but they are not offer customization.

For my opinion to much colors can also distract the trader. Another thing, the current situation causes you to look at the COB there you can see the exact quantities
