Feature request: (Optionally) Round up/down to nearest tick for indicator values

In "Value Format", in addition to "Inherited", can there be a value to round up/down the values to nearest tick? For example, a moving average on ES might show 1960.35 if "Inherited" is chosen. With the new option, it will be 1960.25. If the value is, say, 1960.45, then 1960.50 would be shown instead, reflecting 0.25 as the ES movement increment.

I do realize I can do this by rounding up/down as I wish in the code for indicators I write. But this feature will make all indicators work this way, if the user so chooses.

I think this is "general purpose" enough (follow actual prices, so it is more of an help to place order instead of guesswork during live trading) to merit an implementation from SC. Thanks!

We will see later on. There may be a fundamental problem, which makes the request something that we do not want to add.

Works like a charm, I followed the previous reply exactly. Is there anything the SC team DIDN'T think about?! :)
