    Take for example NQ which is now at 11508.75.
    min tick size is 0.25 point

    I want to adjust tick size to something coarser say 1 point.
    This way, the ladder will be compressed.

    I'm not sure if Sierra has the ability to adjust tick size, but I almost think I saw it somewhere, but if all you're looking to do is compress the ladder, its super easy. Here is a screenshot taken with their ChartDom, which is just the ladder added to the right side of the chart, but it works the same if you open a separate ladder. As you can see along the top, the first ladder is with only 20 points from high to low, then 50, and then 100. When working with the 20, notice how each tick is quite distinguishable, but when going to 100, you get that coarse feel.

  3. Trading Technologies’ platform allows you to do that. TT desktop and TT pro both allow you to do that.

    Tradestation allows the DOM tick size to be easily changed.

    You can do it on Sierra.

    Cable is priced in 0.00001, for example - 1.31001 to 1.31002 so the DOM gets pretty stupid.

    I've therefore set it up to be half a tick so 1.3101 to 1.3101.5

    From the Matrix select 'Axis', click on the arrow to increase or decrease. upload_2020-8-21_1-30-24.png
