Post From: How to have Global Profit Loss Management system correctly flatten positions?

I trade NQ off the DOM with a tick size value of 1.00 as 0.25 is too volatile for me to read. This creates problems with the Global P/L management system oftentimes flattening my positions too early.

If you are changing the Tick Size of the instrument, then you would need to adjust the Currency Value Per Tick to match how you changed the tick size. For example, if the standard tick size is 0.25 with a Currency Value Per Tick of $2.50, then if you change the Tick Size to 1.0, the Currency Value Per Tick would need to change to $10.00

Also, on an unrelated note, when do you guys plan to release the option of aggregating other columns on the DOM based on tick size. For now it's only the buy and sell columns.

We do not know. There have been numerous requests for this, so it is definitely something that we want to get to, but we can not say when it would happen. There are just a lot of things for us to work on, so we never know when we will be able to get to any specific feature.

Setting a loss trigger value of 0 does not seem to trigger anything. I found -1.00 works though

We do not understand what you are trying to ask/say with this. Can you please give us some additional information.

Would it be too difficult to add an 'Apply' button in the Global P/L management system window? It's cumbersome when you want to recheck the status and have to reopen the window every time.

This would come with the new Dialog Windows we are working on.
