It is best not to change the Tick Size. To adjust the Volume Profile to aggregate multiple price levels, change the "Ticks per Volume Bar" input for that study. Refer to the following: Volume By Price Study: Ticks Per Volume Bar Also, there is the "Volume at Price Multiplier" which you can use to affect all volume related studies, including the Volume by Price and Numbers Bars. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Volume at Price Multiplier for Historical/Intraday Chart (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Volume at Price menu) If you want to aggregate Market Depth data in the DOM, then use the "Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks" setting. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu) Chart Settings: Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
