I'm having an issue using attached orders when the defined spread is quoted at .05. The attached orders are immediately rejected by IB. I have tried using % and tick. Is there a way to "round up/down" when the order is filled based on set increment?

I have attached the documentation and list of all securities affected by this rule change.

You just need to change the Tick Size in Chart Settings to .05. Refer to:
Chart Settings: Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

Under "Price Display Format" what should I use .01, .1?

You would still use .01.

I got filled at 21.5555 and got rounded to 21.56 through IB. I had my attached orders set to .25 ticks through the Trade Window. The attached orders were then set to 21.31 and 21.81 and were still canceled due to the fact they were not offsets of .05.

Your'e saying switching the chart settings would help this issue throughly?
