Post From: US Equities - Inbetween Prices on Chart DOM Recent Bid/Ask Columns

Hello,

This is something that appears to be new. To be sure it was not a setting I made sure to replicate it on a fresh install of SC.

What I am seeing is trades going through in between the minimum tick increment of 0.01 and this is being shown on the recent bid and recent ask columns. It makes the Chart DOM hard to read and unreadable if Market Depth > Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Recent Bid/Ask Volume Columns is enabled because sometimes the numbers overlap.

Steps to replicate:

Open an Intraday chart or Trading DOM on a US Equities symbol like AAPL, or AMD. Also open another chart for a symbol with higher volatility like TSLA in order to demonstrate the same issue when enabling Market Depth > Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Recent Bid/Ask Volume Columns:Yes.

Enable the Chart DOM by going to Trade > Trading Chart DOM on, or Trade > Show Market Data Columns.

Add the Recent Bid and Recent Ask Chart/Dom Columns by going to Trade > Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns.

Add Horizontal Grid lines to the chart as a visual aid: Chart > Horizontal Grid > Region 1

Increase the Vertical Scale Range of the Chart in order to see all the numbers printing into Recent Trades columns.

I also have Chart Data > Include Odd Lot Equity Trades enabled for the Chart but I noticed this did not make a difference for the issue I am experiencing.

On the second chart with TSLA or SPY, enable Chart > Market Depth > Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks, and also Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Recent Bid/Ask Volume Columns:Yes

At this point it becomes visible that sometimes there are two numbers on top of one another in the Recent Bid or Recent Ask columns.
