How to make tick compression work along with VBP study on the DOM

is there a way to make tick compression work together with volume by price study as well as the current/recent trade columns on the DOM
everything i have tried causes it to look weird and nothing matches up.

would like to be able to ,for example, only select whole numbers to trade when i have the MES compressed to 1 point per tick.
but can i get it to work with the volume by price and the other columns?

I tried:
keeping tick size to .25 and changing depth combine increments to 4, but then the volume by price study wont match.
tried changing tick size to 1 and changing depth combine increments to 4, and changing my volume by price tick increment to 4 but that would always revert back to 1 and it would still look messed up. half the columns are compressed half aren't.

and can i make it so the cursor will only be able to click one prices in the increment size i choose, for example whole numbers, instead of being able to click on each invisible order box in between the prices that are compressed?

Hi,

1. Keep the tick size at 0.25.
2. Set the combine increment in ticks at 4 for the DOM columns.
3. The magic -> In Chart Settings, go to Chart Data and set the Volume at Price Multiplier for Intraday Chart to 4.

Have a nice day.
