Tick Size Question For Trading System

View Count: 26

I am using a custom coded C++ study for an automated trading system. One of the inputs is "consecutive levels" where it sets the number of levels required to have imbalance conditions present before taking a trade.

I am trading on NQ, using 0.25 tick size in the chart settings but have "volume at price multiplier for intraday charts" set to 4.

When I am adjusting settings in the automated trading system, is it using the chart tick size (0.25) when reading "consecutive levels" input or is it using the multiplied ticks (1pt)?

We can not answer that question, you need to look at your code, or ask the person that coded it.
