Bid / Ask Depth Bars with tick compression.

View Count: 20

To get a tick compressed view (in NQ, going from 0.25 to 1.0 per row for example), in the past I simply increased the tick size (from 0.25 to 1 for NQ, for example, to go from 1->4 ticks).

But because of this bug/feature, recent bid/ask doesn't work with anything other than the default tick size (which definitely seems like a bug):
Issue with DOM not showing Recent Bid VOLUME and Recent Ask Volume (All Levels)

So, I'm forced to do the following, as suggested in that thread, to get a tick compressed view and still have recent bid/ask work properly:


- Volume At Price Multiplier (in chart settings) to 4
- Market Depth Combine Increment to 4
- Scale Range to 4x what normally fits in the window
- Scale Increment to 1.0
- Horizontal Grid Line Increment to 1.0

Unfortunately, when I do this, the ask / bid depth bars do not look right, because despite aggregating, they are still drawing only one the tick size (0.25), and not on the full point size (1). It looks like the attached picture.

So, I can either have correctly drawn depth bars, or I can have recent bid/ask function properly, but I can't have both.

Any suggestions?
