Post From: Support variable scaling in Trading and Chart DOM

ES options have a variable scaling for valid order prices. From 0 to 5.00, the scaling is 0.05. From 5.00 upwards, the scaling changes to 0.25. This is just how the CME does it. Attached are 2 screenshots. One from SC and one from IB TWS. IB TWS does it correctly as you will see the scaling changing above 5.00. In the SC DOM, it is wasteful in screen real estate to have prices like 5.05 etc. Also, being clicked, SC would try to send a buy/sell order at 5.05 which will be rejected. If you guys can put in some feature where the user can choose multiple scaling for a single instrument, that would be great. Thanks. PS: This is not an IB specific thing. I just used TWS DOM as an example. This is an issue no matter who the provider is |
