Common Settings

In this article, we will look at the General Platform Settings where you can set general settings for volume profile, render type, customize notifications and more  

When you click on the common settings button, the settings window opens:

Value Area

• Value area percentage - this feature sets the size of the value area as a percentage of the total volume for the period in the volume profile

• Levels at a time - this parameter affects the accuracy of volume profile display by comparing multiple price levels

• Update interval - the frequency of volume profile updates

Common

Continuous Profile Source:

There are 2 settings to choose from:

1. Current contract - the profile will be formed only according to the data of the current contract.

2. All period - the profile will be formed according to the Continuous contract data.

Max Candles Per Chat:

You can select the maximum number of candles that can be displayed on the chart.

Auto update modules

Automatically update modules (indicators, strategies, etc.) from your personal cabinet when launching the platform.

Rendering

Renderer Type:

You can select three types of rendering:

1. Direct2D - renders on video card resources.

2. GDI - performs rendering on CPU resources.

3. OpenGLSkia - renders using the video card resources, the OpenGL standard and the Skia graphics library. This type of rendering is necessary for the operation of Liquidity Map in the Dom Levels indicators or in the  Dom Trader trading module.

• Show Debug Info:

This feature enables the display of debugging information in all windows.

• Disable rendering of hidden windows

  
  

  When this property is set to true, application windows that are hidden behind other windows in the operating system will not render.  This can help reduce the load on the GPU and improve application performance when running in the background.

• Thread Rendering

  
  

  How many CPU threads are allocated to render the charts. Increase if you have spare CPU cores and a low frame rate.

  Decrease if you see high CPU utilization with a large number of diagrams.

Database

• Backup Period (days):

This function is used to select after what amount of time (in days) the system does the backup.

• Maximum Store Backups:

This function allows you to select the maximum number of backups that will be stored on your device.

The DOM

Levels Count:

This function serves to limit the number of visible DOM levels. If you want to remove the DOM limit, then set it to 0.

This feature sets the duration (in days) for which trading strategy settings will be stored for a specific account after the settings are last applied.
