I've been experiencing an issue with MT every so often when trading Futures. Usually, closing and reopening MT will fix it, but for some reason that isn't working anymore. Trading @MESH23 for example. When I move the capsule on the chart, it'll move in .25 increments as that's how the price moves (3904 -> 3904.25 -> 3904.50 -> 3904.75 -> 3905). But as soon as you open a Trade Ticket window or clear intra-day data, it defaults the contract to changing in .10 increments in both the chart and the Trade Ticket window (3904 -> 3904.10 -> 3904.20 -> 3904.30 -> 3904.40 -> Etc.). This makes it impossible to set any order unless it falls perfectly on round numbers and/or half (3904/3904.50). Is there a way to reset the chart and Trade Ticket window to change in the correct increment? When clearing intra-day data, if you have the capsules already placed in the chart, somehow this will prevent it. As I said before, usually when this happens I'd close MT and restart it and everything would function normally again, so long as I don't open a Trade Ticket window or clear intra-day data. But if the candles aren't printing correctly, I need to clear it, so the issue presents itself. Now it seems to be permanently stuck in this state. This will also only affect the current contract. If I switch over to @MESM23 for example, it'll function correctly, unless I trigger the issue by doing what I stated above. Picture below gives an example of the capsules on the chart:

Amazing, thank you so much!

I added an edit to my previous reply with an example. When trading directly in IBKR, whether their mobile app or TWS, I'm able to set my orders in the chart in .01 increments across all symbols and contracts, just the same if I were to enter the price manually. I understand that some contracts trade in .05 increments on the bid/ask, that's not necessarily what I'm referring to. I'm talking specifically about order entry. If I select a contract in MT and in the chart the trading capsule moves in .05 increments, I'm still able to instead, open the trade ticket and manually enter the price I want. I'd rather avoid that and trade directly in the chart with the trading capsule.

Looking at it again after you mentioned the 3.00 price point, it makes complete sense now. Looking at META, the contracts trading under 3.00 were moving in increments of .01 while anything above was in .05. And like you said, it appears to apply to certain symbols only. IBM for example seems to change in increments of .01 across the board regardless of option price. Personally, I find this better when trading options in the chart - I like pin point accuracy when setting up my orders. Edit: Looking at IBM again, I guess I wasn't entirely correct. The 135 strike is priced over 9.00 and moves in increments of .05. The 133 strike is priced over 7.00 and moves in increments of .01. The 129 strike is priced over 3.00 and moves in increments of .05.

So I messed around with the update a bit, and it's definitely an improvement. But I've also noticed that there are some contracts within the same symbol that trade in higher increments (random example - 155 strike, .01 increment - 150 strike, .05 increment). I know I may be asking for a lot here, but is there a way to just blanket the settings across all symbols and contracts to change in .01 increments?

Hey there, I created an account just to ask this question since I couldn't seem to find any information or settings available to adjust this. I trade primarily (almost exclusively) options. And I love utilizing the in chart trading feature that you guys have. But there's one thing that I've noticed. The Y-Axis price adjustment doesn't seem to be consistent across various contracts of various prices. For example, when loading up an option chart of SPY, when I go to select which price I want to place my order at, the Y-Axis moves in increments of .01 cents. But RBLX will move in increments of .05, and META in increments of .10 - so I'm unable to place orders in between say, 2.50 and 2.55, even if the ask/bid is in between those price points - it'll just round to the nearest .05 or .10 increment. What I would like to know, is there a way to adjust this setting that I'm just not seeing? I'd like for all my orders to adjust on a .01 increment basis. *Side note* It also seems to apply to the trade ticket itself, and adjusting the spin increments seems to do nothing.
