Post From: Sim trades are being placed in random places and P/L is wrong!

We are not sure what exactly you are wanting to accomplish. When you set the Tick Size to something other than what the market itself uses, then you are forcing the pricing that is used for the order fills to be at a rounded value to the tick size you have entered - at least for Simulation mode. For instance, if you have a tick size of 1.00 for the NQ, then when the real price is 15855.25 and you place a market order, it is going to show as filling at 15855.00.

You would have to determine what tick size you want to set in your chart based on what you are wanting to accomplish. But we wonder if there is something else that may be a better option for what you are doing, rather than changing the tick size.
