Use custom tick size

This setting is useful for highly volatile instruments like Bitcoin (BTC) or Nasdaq (NQ) futures. It combines multiple tick levels into a single level, often for a more compact display of Level2 data, Volume Profile, or Cluster charts. For example, you can see a Bitcoin chart compressed into $10 intervals, providing a clearer look at the Level 2 indicator.

  • Abbreviate: Values are shortened, using "K" for thousands, "M" for millions, etc.

Crosshair

This setting controls the visibility and appearance of the crosshair cursor on charts with the same or different symbols (assets). You can choose to display the crosshair only on the current chart, on all charts with the same symbol, or across charts with different symbols. A scrolling option is also available.

Note: If you want the crosshair to be synchronized across different charts, you must configure the crosshair separately on each chart.
