I can't place orders at half-tick

It seems that I can’t place an order at 0.5 tick on forex futures. I'm using Rithmic.
Example: on 6CH2, I can place an order at 0.7795 or 0.7796, but NOT at 0.77955, even though Sierra chart displays futures with half ticks.
When I place an order on Chart DOM at half tick and release the mouse button, it moves immediately to the full tick upward.

Please find attached my orders SC export file, and chart/symbol settings
If you look at the 4 lines (time 08:44:44):
I tried to move an existing order from 0.7795 to 0.77955 (on 6CH2 future)
you can see that my requested price was 0.77955, but finally the order was moved at 0.7796.
Half tick price 0.77955 was refused, and order was finally automatically placed to the full tick above, 0.7796.

I don’t remember this behaviour few weeks ago. I’m quite sure I could place orders at all levels, including half ticks.
Any change? Any solution to place an order at half tick?

This is a Rithmic issue. We need to let them know about it.

Who is your futures broker?

There is no reason to be using Rithmic for live trading CME Group markets.

My futures broker is Edge Clear
Clearer is Dormann
I'm using Rithmic because I use also Rithmic for Bookmap

Ok thank you.

Rithmic has been notified of the problem. Although not totally sure if they have properly understood it. We have made it is clear as we can to them.

Can you please clarify if it was a RITHMIC or a SC issue?
Could I stay with RITHMIC?

It was an error on the Sierra Chart side. That was not obvious at first. But after discussions with Rithmic we figured it out. We are going to put out a new release now.
