delta88 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 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?

Jerry Medved Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 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.
