Hello,
On a intraday EURUSD charts it shows that the tick size .000050 is 5 times larger than the display size .000010. Could you please explain that. It seems like the tick size is the smallest unit and should be smaller than the minimum display size.

When the chart value shows that it changes from one second to the next by .000010 how is that possible if the minimum tick size is 5 times larger than that?


Personally i don't really need anything less than a minute, or probably 10 minutes. But i want to make sure it's accurate.



....apparently i'm not understanding this because the increments on all the charts data are .00001 still even when the setting is .00005 minimum tick size. It looks like only the axis increments are set to .00005, so the courser moves by .00005, but the data itself is still .00001 . That's ok with me. But it seems backwards.
Thanks!

You can change the Tick Size but with studies that do volume at price processing this greatly increases CPU usage. Refer to:
Chart Settings: Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)



Also refer to:
Chart Settings: Adjust Tool Values to Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawing menu)
