Hi,

since the last few updates the default price display format for options (ES for example) is set to 0.1 and not 0.01 as it used to be, also it is being enforced to be 0.1 unless I change the auto-set from data feed to no and then change to 0.01.
Is there a way to set my default price display format for the entire options for that symbol (ES) or can u please return it to like it used to be (0.01)

thank you

We have not made any changes to the symbol settings for Options. The default setting for "Auto-Set from Data Feed" has always been "Yes". Therefore, we can only conclude that there has been a change in the way this information is being sent in the data feed causing the price display format to be different from what you saw before.

The only solution to this would be to change the Symbol Settings for the options data to turn off the "Auto-Set from Data Feed" and then set the Tick Size and Price Display Format as you want in those symbol settings. The setting for "Auto-Set from Data Feed" is called "Auto-Set Tick Size and Value Format from Data Feed".

You would want to update the symbol settings for items like "~?##~.FUT_OPT.CME".
