This has been driving me nuts so I'm hoping there's a solution, or that it can be fixed if it is indeed a bug. 1. In Chart Settings, set Price Display Format to 1 (so don't show any decimals). 2. Change data feed to anything else (Rithmic, SC Data, Trading Evaluator, Live Account, whatever) 3. Notice Price Display Format is at 0.01 again. Auto-Set From Data Feed is NOT checked. Checking it causes it to work as you would expect (auto setting from the data feed). Changing back to the previous data feed, also stays at 0.01 and does not "remember" that you had set it to 1. My expectation is that whatever I set it to, will stay there between data feeds. Or at a minimum, remember what it was set for, for a specific data feed. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-04-01 15:35:22

When you change the Service you are also changing the Symbols, which then updates those fields with the symbol settings for those new symbols. There is the following setting which you can use to NOT update the symbol settings when you make a change, but most likely you want the other settings to change, so this may not work for you: Chart Settings: Do Not Change Symbol Settings for Chart on Symbol Change (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) You could also edit the symbol settings if you really want the Price Display Format to be 1 for those symbols at all times. 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 |

OK, this is exactly what I was afraid would be the answer... that the only "solution" to this is to change at the symbol settings level. It's so unintuitive, it's pretty standard to expect that if you set a setting somewhere, then that setting will stay put. This confused the hell out of me for quite some time until I realized what was probably happening. Guess I'll have to change it at the symbol level which is a nuisance for sure but at least it should work.

I just tested this and it does not work for me. 1. Set Price format in symbol settings, to 1. 2. Set Price Value Format in chart settings, also to 1 and enable Enable "Set from Data Feed" (just to be sure) 3. Disconnect data feed and connect to a different one. 4. Connect back to the previous feed (Trading Evaluator). 5. Price is back at 0.01 value format. What am I overlooking here? |

OK looks like you actually need to NOT set it to enable by data feed. Counterintuitive but seems OK now.
