Chart Trading orders snap to major values

[delta88]

When creating a buy or sell order, the order line will snap to major values, instead of allowing me to place the order exactly where I want. Is there a way to disable this behavior?

Thanks.

MT is using the spin increments you define on the account.  Go to SETTINGS / TRADING / ACCOUNTS.  Select the account in question. Then on the right side, go to SPIN INCREMENTS tab and adjust the spin increments. What do you have there now?

oops, accidentally deleted your reply:

I had whatever the defaults were, but changed them all to an increment of 0.01, and everything works now.

what happened was that previously we had it default to:

Max Price............Increment
1....................0.001
10...................0.01
100..................0.05
All others...........0.1

We changed it to 
Max Price............Increment
1....................0.001
100..................0.01
1000.................0.1
All others...........0.1

But the change does not impact already configured accounts

To add to Jerry's post, the reason *why* the chart trading capsules snap to certain increments are:

1. There *has* to be some granularity otherwise you cannot drag the price precisely to the value you want.

2. Brokerages reject orders where prices are not on certain increments.
