market depth hist graph - combine ticks

I have a DAX numbers bars chart where Tick Size it set to 1 instead of 0.5, thereby combining 2 levels to reduce noise
If in market depth hist graph I will set to combine 3 ticks, will it only combine 3x0.5 increments or as chart set 3x1?
If it combines only 3x0.5, but chart actually shows only .0 round numbers, then some depth is actually missing. Correct?
any way to overcome this?

see screeenshot where DAX chart tick size set to 1

First, we realize that we need to update the Market Depth Historical Graph for the situation where the Tick Size is changed to a larger value. This has not changed the way it works, and we see that it is only displaying one of the values from the original tick size.

Now, given the above, when you use the "Combine Increment in Ticks" option on the Market Depth Historical Graph, it is then summing together the number of ticks that are specified in Chart Settings, but it is only summing the value that is displayed, which is the one value, not the sum.

But, we would really recommend not changing the tick size anymore. If you are wanting to reduce the noise of the Market Depth from a busy market then use the Combine Increment in Ticks for both the Chart DOM and the Market Depth Historical Graph. Refer to the information here:
Chart Settings: Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu)

and here:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Combine Increment in Ticks

Also refer to the information on why you will see some differences between the Chart DOM and the Market Depth Historical Graph when you do this:
