Post From: Configurable per-instrument letter/block tick increment for TPO/Volume profiles

Equity prices vary so wildly that a 1 tick increment (1 penny) may be fine for a $5 stock, but becomes too granular for a $700 stock. So, the same TPO/VbP chart cannot really be used effectively for both AMRN and TSLA, for example (I would be afraid to try a 1 tick setting on BRK B!). One solution would be a per-instrument setting which is applied to both TPO and Volume profiles for the instrument. This is not just a problem with equities. ES futures for me is 2 ticks, NQ futures is 8 ticks, etc. There are very different tick increments even in just futures. As an additional comment: maybe I missed it, but while Volume by Price has a "large number format" setting, I don't see this on the TPO Profile setting. When showing "Chart Values" in the TPO profile, the volume for equities, which is easily in the hundreds of millions for many issues, is unreadable. I can't glance and see 233646996, I'd rather see 233.6M Please consider these upgrades. Thanks for considering guys. |
