Hello, FXCM is quoting its index CFDs with 2 decimals, yet within SC I can only chart trade orders with a min increment of rounded 1 by 1 point (no decimal), that is from the chart DOM or modifying an order on chart. When modifying an order on chart, if I set a new level of 11950,5 on the GER30 it will only round it to say 11950 Imho that's a limitation that should be lifted. In fact, even the last price and bid/ask on the y axis on chart should reflect the reality of FXCM, that is 2 decimals (right now it is rounded to 2 decimals) Please comment, thank you

I've changed the setting in Global Symbols but is there any way to keep the increments on the Trading DOM and the P/L as 1 point while allowing fine tuning to 0.1 point on the charts? When putting tick size as 1.0 in Chart Settings on the DOM it changes, but after going to another symbol on the quote board and then back it reverts to 0.1. Also the P/L displays in 0.1 point increments regardless of DOM chart settings.

When putting tick size as 1.0 in Chart Settings on the DOM it changes, but after going to another symbol on the quote board and then back it reverts to 0.1 In this particular case you need to alter the Tick Size to what you normally want to use for the symbol through the Global Symbol Settings. Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalSymbolSettings.php Also the P/L displays in 0.1 point increments regardless of DOM chart settings. This is hard for us to understand because we do not know how you have set the Profit/Loss format.
