Recent Bid/Ask to Match Dom Tick Compression

Hi,

I compressed an NQ DOM to 8 ticks and selected the option to apply to all other market data columns.

Then I auto-scaled the DOM but the recent bid/ask columns are still not readable as they aren't lining up with the compression (see attached).

How can I fix this? I downloaded the latest Sierra Chart version - 53688.

Chart > Chart Settings > Market Depth > Apply Combine Increments in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns
Set this setting to yes.

This reads like you changed the tick size, then selected selected the option to apply to all other market data columns = yes.
That setting relates to the market depth combine increment in ticks, so if you did not change that, then the setting will have no effect.

1. Don't change the tick size, change it back / leave it as standard.
2. Chart Settings -> Market Depth -> Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks = 8
3. Chart Settings -> Market Depth -> Apply Combine Increments in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns = Yes
4. Scale Settings -> Scale Increment = 2.0 (if 2.0 = 8 ticks)
