Heatmap empty while the feed is live: colour scale not calibrated, window outside history, or no book

Three Senzoukria banners explain an empty heatmap when the renderer is working: no order book received for some seconds, a colour scale that was never calibrated, or a displayed window that falls outside the retained history. Each has a different fix.

What you see

The map is uniform background colour, and one of these banners appears: “No order book received for {seconds}s: the map is empty for lack of data, not for lack of liquidity.”; “Colour scale not calibrated: the map is entirely at background level while the book is arriving. Switch intensity back to Auto.”; or “The displayed window falls outside the retained history: the map is empty because of framing, not for lack of liquidity. Go back to live.”

Why it happens

  • No order book received: the renderer paints but no new book has arrived, so the black area is a data gap. When both painting and data stop, the app names the missing data, which is the cause you can act on.
  • Scale not calibrated: the colour normaliser never got a high anchor, so every cell maps to the background colour. Manual scale settings can lead there.
  • Outside history: you panned or zoomed to a time the heatmap no longer retains, so every pixel is background.

How to fix it

  • No book: check the connection badge, the market hours and the source; see the book state in the status line.
  • Scale: open the heatmap settings, Intensity, and choose Auto sensitivity instead of Manual scale.
  • Framing: click the LIVE button that appears when you leave follow mode, or reset the time span.

What it is not

  • Not an absence of liquidity in the market: each banner says why the map is empty.
  • Not a renderer crash: painting continues; the graphics-context banners cover that case.

When to contact support

If the steps above do not change anything, send the case from Menu → Report a problem, or ask on the Senzoukria Discord. Include the banner text, your Intensity settings and a screenshot of the heatmap settings panel.

Frequently asked questions

What does Auto sensitivity change?
It lets the colour scale follow the observed sizes, with percentile anchors, instead of a fixed manual scale that can leave everything at background level.
How do I get back to live after scrolling?
A LIVE button appears when you leave follow mode by panning or unlocking the vertical axis. Clicking it returns to the live edge.
