Hello, I've been wanting to chart penny stocks like ticker: COMS with 4 decimal pricing. I read this section ( Changing the Price/Value Display Format: Setting the Value Format for the Main Price Graph or Trade DOM ) and was able to create a working 4 decimal chart, which unfortunately immediately reverts back to 2 decimal whenever I change symbol. In Chart Settings --> Symbol Settings I update (1) "Price Display Format" to 0.0001 and (2) "Tick Size" to 0.0001 and (3) "Currency Value Per Tick" to 0.0001 . The "Auto-Set from Data Feed" is set to No. I attached an image of the settings I use. Am I missing something? Thanks |

The system is going to change these items when you change symbols, as each symbol has different settings. You can set the option for Do Not Change Symbol Settings For Chart on Symbol Change, but you need to be careful with this, as a symbol that has very different symbol settings may not show properly with the settings you have. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Do Not Change Symbol Settings for Chart on Symbol Change (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) Another option is to change the actual symbol settings for the symbols that you want to have a specific set of settings. Refer to the following: Global Symbol Settings: Instructions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
