I trade US Equities, and have to switch between hundreds of symbols a day. I rely on TPO charts heavily. It's a lot of work to constantly have to go in and adjust the TPO "Letter/Block Increment in Ticks" to make the proper looking profiles for given stock. (Smaller tick settings are needed for lower priced stocks, while higher tick settings for higher priced stocks.)

A few solutions come to mind. 1) A hotkey to where we could easily adjust the tick size for the TPO chart. 2) An available setting to adjust tick size to a desired ratio compared with ATR.

Thanks as always.

The only thing we can say is that you can set the Tick Size to a custom value for a stock symbol through the Global Symbol Settings. Here is the documentation:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php

You will have to add stock symbols individually there.

So when you change the symbol of a chart, this custom Tick Size will be applied and the TPO Profiles will be based on it.

What tick sizes do you use for equities @user57210?? For example I use 1.00 for $amzn and .25 for $tsla seems to work for me. Is that what you do... just find something that works for you?

think I answered my own question... use ATR on a minute chart or 3 min chart etc.

Has Sierra considered adding something to automate this process? Jut got equities data and it is quite frustrating to have to adjust each.
