Make sierra chart data feed realtime update to the lasted price decimal number to make it faster on chart price flickering!
Here a video of what am talking about.

in the video look how the other chart is more flickering up and down! i would like to know if it is possible to make sierra chart like this thx for helping!

the reason why is i trade Really Fast Smallcap Stock and when we have a kind of momentary pause on price action i have my eye on the level 2 and the chart and i can really see the reversal much easier when chart is flickering really fast....

You can change the Tick Size and Price Display Format for your charts. Refer to the following the item below it:
Chart Settings: Price Display Format (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

You may also want to lower your Chart Update Interval. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Update Interval menu)

doing this will not work... i think what am asking is impossible... what am thinking is the Market data itself is limitating to only use round number.... so this is why is not as fast on price flickering like other chart on the video...

Maybe using Denali Exchange Data Feed US Equities Consolidated Tape + Denali Exchange Data Feed NASDAQ TotalView Exchange with the _MBO ticker can work???

The market data is definitely limited in terms of the number of decimal places. We are surprised to see data coming in at other than 0.01, which is what it should be for stocks. But we do see data going out a few more decimal places. We have no idea what the other system you are looking at is doing.

The data you are getting is going to be the same if you add the NASDAQ TotalView in order to use the _MBO symbol, as the price and volume data comes from the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape in this case.
