price label of bond futures

[clearpicks]

On charts of ZN, ZB, etc., the labels on y-axis are in format of XX.YY/32, while the price label of my indicators are shown in decimal format. How can I configure the charts so that they both are shown in the same format?

Hello Clearpicks,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately that is not supported.

This is already on development's list of future considerations for the next release.

Hello. I'm new to the 10 year note. Curious as to the reason the charts reflect a five tick movement and not a one tick movement. Would prefer the one tick.

Hello,

Can you clarify how you are seeing a 5 tick movement? Can you perhaps provide a screenshot of what you are seeing?

[steveg]

Hope the screenshot explains. Same issue effects the ATM settings for targets and stops.

The chart appears to be plotting as expected, I would note this instrument has a tick size of 1/64th rather than 1/32nd such as ZB/UB.

[steveg]

What does it mean, plotting as expected? I'm trying to understand why this instrument has to move 5 ticks before a bar appears on the screen, whereas almost all other instruments move after one tick.

The chart is plotting a candle every 5 minutes due to the interval of the chart. I can see several bars of only 1 tick, and there is a bar every 5 minutes so I'm not seeing any missing data. Can you clarify what you are expecting to see with this instrument?

Hi. Ryan. I appreciate your responses. Please help me find the places on the screenshot I sent you showing the one tick movement. May I ask you to perform a test of this instrument (ZN 12-21) on your computer and have you send me a screenshot with a pointer to a one tick movement? Maybe I need to adjust my settings. Thanks

Maybe steveg is confused why the Bond price labels
are showing as decimal rather than as 'fractional'?

If so, good reading here.

Are you able to see any bars with 2 ticks, or 3 ticks or 4?

I think I see what you mean.

Every candlestick on the chart appears to be multiple of 5 ticks.

Hello bitdavid. Can this be changed to the "standard" one tick for movement chart?

[NinjaTrader_RyanS]

I believe you are referring to the tick size of the instrument. The single tick bars in the bottom-middle of the chart have a price range of 131'150 to 131;155 which is a single tick. As mentioned, the tick size is 1/64th, unlike the ZB product which is quoted in 1/32nds.

[bltdavid]

Yep, I see it now.

steveg, you good?
