v. 2889: Recent Bid/Ask Not Showing When NQ Tick Size Is Changed

View Count: 39

For a long time, I have compressed my NQ DOM in Sierra Chart by simply changing Symbol > Tick Size from 0.25 to 0.50, then changing the Currency Value Per Tick accordingly.



Under Market Depth, I have:



Combine Increments In Ticks: 1

Apply Combine Increment In Ticks To Other Market Data Columns: Yes



This perfectly compresses everything without gridlines cutting through the middle of recent bid/ask or pull/stack numbers.



But today I upgraded from 2882 to 2899 and my NQ DOM no longer shows recent bid/ask information. This appears to be the case in 2897, as well.



It seems like the only way to compress the DOM now is to set Market Depth Combine Increment In Ticks to 2 (or higher), but this method is visually messy because of the gridlines.



Is there a way to bring back Recent Bid/Ask using the Tick Size method that I was using?



Thanks!

There is not. Due to underlying changes to support the Market Depth combining for all the columns, when you change the Tick Size, the Recent Bid/Ask will not display.

As you state, the solution is to use the "Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks".

We are not sure what issue you are referring to with regards to the Grid Lines. Please get us an image of what you are seeing by following these instructions:
