Rolled over charts from H to M, and the tick size/tick compression set on all the charts was reset. This is a huge issue, a major inconvenience, and not helpful in any way. I know Sierra resets tick size on certain conditions, but Performing a Rollover should not be one of them. Please address and fix this issue. |

You can set the option linked below to prevent the settings be altered when changing symbol. Chart Settings: Do Not Change Symbol Settings for Chart on Symbol Change (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) |

Thanks for the tip. That setting might be good to set to prevent this issue, but breaks setting up a good chartbook for NQ then duplicating it for CL for example. Changing from F.US.ENQH22 to F.US.ENQM22 should not be a "symbol change" and cause all these settings to reset. I still believe Sierra should address this issue.

Also, please see this post for other conditions where tick compression settings break, such a duplicating a chartbook (no symbol change there), or if you give a chartbook to another user and they open it (no symbol change) Duplicate Chart resets Tick Size and it should not |

As you mentioned footprint charts in the other post, I would ask is there a particular reason why you would change the tick size on a footprint chart instead of using the volume at price multiplier? VAP multiplier is not reset when changing chart symbol and the visual result is the same. |

Thanks for the suggestion. I may have overlooked that and prob just out of old habits always used tick size. Will give this a go.

Well, that does not yield the same data in all cases. Tick Size vs Volume at Price Multiplier aggregation method is different And yes, this does have a material impact on how my custom studies work. |

Did you actually confirm that for yourself? Or is that solely based on a near 3 year old post that, at least from my observations, is no longer accurate? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-03-13 11:06:31

You are correct. It does appear that issue has been resolved from that old case.
