How to add a column on DOM that just shows P&L that ignores quantity?

Hello, I went through the support documents and got the P&L to ignore quantities on the trader DOM, but I can't figure out how to get the actual P&L column to ignore quantities.

For example, when I have more than 1 contract on, the P&L for points shows the total points based on contracts on:

I would like it to ignore quantity, so no matter how many contracts I have on, it just shows 00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.25...etc on the P&L Column. If this is not support, is there another way to add/customize the platform to have this visual feature?

So say I kept adding contracts to my trade, the P&L would show the ticks like this regardless of 1 or 100 contracts on:

I played around with that earlier but the closest I got was showing a fixed amount of ticks, can this be changed to show points?

So instead of 0t, 1t, 2t, 3t.. it shows 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00..etc and have them ignore quantity of lots, so it is not based on the position average?

Points - Ignore Quantity is an option. It will show as a lower case 'p' in the display. The options as you cycle through them are the same as the options in the Chart Settings for Profit/Loss Format. Refer to the information here:
Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)
