ES options have a variable scaling for valid order prices. From 0 to 5.00, the scaling is 0.05. From 5.00 upwards, the scaling changes to 0.25. This is just how the CME does it. Attached are 2 screenshots. One from SC and one from IB TWS. IB TWS does it correctly as you will see the scaling changing above 5.00. In the SC DOM, it is wasteful in screen real estate to have prices like 5.05 etc. Also, being clicked, SC would try to send a buy/sell order at 5.05 which will be rejected. If you guys can put in some feature where the user can choose multiple scaling for a single instrument, that would be great. Thanks. PS: This is not an IB specific thing. I just used TWS DOM as an example. This is an issue no matter who the provider is |

This is not supported in Sierra Chart. We do not foresee this ever being supported. At some point we would add support for a variable tick table for a symbol but how that would really be utilized we are not sure. Probably that could be used, based upon the current price of the symbol the tick size could automatically change but it would affect all prices. There cannot be inconsistent scaling as you have showed in that Interactive Brokers price scale. That definitively will never be supported. It is not possible for a trading DOM to be scaled in that way. There is just is inherently no support for that whatsoever. We do not foresee ever adding that capability.
