### **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**](https://help.quantower.com/quantower/analytics-panels/chart/technical-indicators/volume/level2-indicator)**,** [**Volume Profile**](https://help.quantower.com/quantower/analytics-panels/chart/volume-analysis-tools/volume-profiles)**, or** [**Cluster charts**](https://help.quantower.com/quantower/analytics-panels/chart/volume-analysis-tools/cluster-chart). For example, you can see a Bitcoin chart compressed into $10 intervals, providing a clearer look at the Level 2 indicator.
