What does the Heat multiplier do and when should I use it?

The Heat multiplier controls how strongly colours show gains and losses on the Heatmap. Increasing it makes small changes look more pronounced; decreasing it softens the shading.

How it works

  • The Heat multiplier adjusts colour sensitivity. Higher = stronger colour contrast; lower = gentler shades.
  • It does not change the underlying data—only how clearly differences appear.

FYERS Web 

  1. Open Analytics › Heatmap.
  2. Click Heat multiplier on the top toolbar to open it.
  3. In the heat multiplier setting:
    • Baseline value (1D chg %) – keep or edit as needed (default shown: 0).
    • Multiplier – choose Balanced, High sensitivity, or Low sensitivity.
    Click Apply to save, or Reset to clear only the Heat multiplier.
  4. To start over, click Reset all on the toolbar (next to Heat multiplier); this restores the entire Heatmap to defaults.

FYERS App

  1. Go to Markets (bottom nav) › Analytics › Heatmap.
  2. Tap the three lines icon on the top right to open Preferences.
  3. Select Heat multiplier, pick Balanced, High sensitivity, or Low sensitivity, then tap Apply.
  4. Use Reset in Preferences to clear just this setting.

Notes

  • Use a higher Heat multiplier when shades look too similar and you need clearer separation.
  • Use a lower Heat multiplier if colours feel exaggerated.
  • Reset all (Web) sits next to Heat multiplier and resets everything; Reset inside a setting clears only that one setting.

What If?
