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

### Abbreviation Rules

This option allows you to simplify the display of trading size values for easier readability. There are three modes:

* **Default**: Values are displayed as is, without abbreviation or rounding.
* **Round to**: Values are rounded to a specified number of decimal places.
* **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 <mark style="color:green;">**current chart**</mark>, on <mark style="color:green;">**all charts with the same symbol**</mark>, or across <mark style="color:green;">**charts with different symbols**</mark>. A scrolling option is also available.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you want the crosshair to be synchronized across different charts, you must configure the crosshair separately on each chart.
{% endhint %}
