Post From: How to make a “Tick Chart” in Sierra Chart?

Is there a way to get new charts for EURUSD using the FXCM feed to open up with default tick sizes and display formatted to 0.000001?
I know that for me, it seems to default to 0.00005, and I was thinking I could just change it to 1, but in fact, they do delivery prices to even a fraction of that, meaning I have to change the 5 to 01 otherwise, when I draw a box it appears the candles do not touch it and the tools view shows the same.

WHen I use Duplicate Chart, SierraChart is changing my 0.000001 to 0.00005 every time in Chart/Symbol.
Symbol Settings
Price Display Format (List) 0.00001
Auto-Set From Data Feed No
Tick Size 0.000050
Currency Value Per Tick 0.00005

I have tried using Global Settings > Symbol Settings where I have the option to use custom settings, but that system does not seem to allow me to set custom settings for just EURUSD and leave the other symbols as non-custom.
Am I right that if I take control of one symbol with custom settings that I am also responsible for taking control of all of the others as well?

1. Chart properties should respect the No option. I would like to be able to tell the chart - do not use the data feed and when I duplicate it, it keeps the settings exactly as I had them instead of resetting them to the Global settings defaults (or custom if I check the box - which I don't really want to do because it will mess up other symbols that were fine with their defaults)
2. Global Settings should offer a custom option for each symbol in addition to a custom settings for all symbols. I would like to be able to just customize symbols and if I tell my chart to use the data feed, that it will then use those settings.
3. Also, it seems the FXCM defaults should be set to the following (by changing the 5 to 1 and adding an additional decimal), otherwise all the snap to high/low fail to work.
Price Display Format (List) 0.000001
Auto-Set From Data Feed No
Tick Size 0.000001
Currency Value Per Tick 0.000001

Thank you.
