How Does Sierra Chart Accumulate Volume at Price Levels for Custom Tick Sizes?

Is there any documentation or explanation on how Sierra Chart accumulates volume for custom tick sizes? For example, if the tick size is 0.25 and I switch to a custom tick size of 1, how is the volume from the 0.25 tick size accumulated at different price levels? I have observed that for a tick size of 0.5, volume accumulates at half-number levels (e.g., 18250, 18250.5, 18251), but I'm unsure how the algorithm handles tick sizes of 0.75 or larger. Could someone clarify this?

All we can say, is that in this case the values are rounded off to the nearest multiple of 1 using the standard rounding rule.
