The tick setting I use for 1m to 5m footprint charts is 0.25, but for higher timeframes, like 30m+, I use 1.0 or 2.0 so the numbers are not so vertically squished. Is there a way to add chart tick size presets (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, etc) to the control bar like there is for changing the time frame values (1m, 5m, 10m, etc...)? I don't like using the volume at price multiplier because it seems to move some values to the wrong places and it appears there is no option for this in the control bar customization.
