What is a Market Heatmap panel in Optimus Flow?

Market heatmap is a useful visual tool for viewing any watchlist of underlyings against each other. The different shades allow traders to see quickly and clearly each underlyings strength or weakness.

## How to customize data types?

●     The panel allows displaying data in two modes:

●     *Treemap* mode in which the size of the tiles depends on the value of the price or volume change.

●     *Cells* show tiles of symbols from largest to smallest value (price or volume change).

● You can also switch between two sorting modes — Change, % (daily price change), Volume

●     You can save and switch between different lists of assets. For example, create a list of your favorite futures. After saving, you can select the desired actions:

●      — Add to Watchlist allows you to add a previously saved list to the current

●      — Replace Watchlist allows you to delete the current list and add all instruments from the previously saved one

● The panel allows you to compare volume and price changes over the past day. Select the required date in the past, and the panel will load data for the analysis.
