Hi, I want to tick compress my NQ DOM and I followed the steps in the document (Market depth combine increment in ticks & Apply combine increment in ticks to other market data columns). However I now have big gaps between resting orders on the bid/ask. How can I solve this please? https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1767354012969.png |

Since you applied a "Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks" you will see the data spread out per the number of increments that you defined. In this case, you used an increment of 4, so now you will see the aggregated data at every 4th tick (or each whole number price value). If you are wanting to update your price ladder to reflect this, then change the "Scale Increment" to a value of "1.0". Refer to the following: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Increment (Scale Settings) If not the above, then we need more information on what exactly the issue is, as we are not understanding.

That works but it screws up my VbP. I tried to tick compress the volume profile but for some strange reason it won't allow me to. Please see image attached https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1767390435960.png Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-02 21:52:02

If the Volume by Price study does not allow the "Ticks per Volume Bar" to be changed, then this is due to having a "Volume at Price Multiplier" set to something other than 1. Refer to the last two paragraphs in the following section: Volume By Price Study: Ticks Per Volume Bar For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
