# Market Heat map

A market heat map represents real-time data in the form of tiles that are automatically sorted by volume or price change

* 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 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 popular cryptocurrencies or a list of major US 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.quantower.com/quantower/miscellaneous-panels/market-heat-map.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
