    mini DAX Future with IB: issue with chart trader

    Hello,
    I would like to trade the mini DAX future with the help of your chart trader, but Interactive Brokers is not accepting half point values for this instrument.
    So when I'm placing an order on the chart, I need to loose time to put it at a round number and after, even if my ATM strategy is using only stop loss or take profit of mininimum one point value, sometimes, Ninja is placing an order at half-point and I have to go on the TWS platform from IB to manually change the value...In addition, even if I'm trying to change the SL or TP at a round number on the chart, it is not updating on IB and on my chart, as I'm forced to do it on IB TWS platform.
    I'm using 21 tick chart, for scalping, so like this, it is not an option.

    So:
    - could I minimize the "resolution" of this instrument on my chart (in order to place orders on round numbers) OR to change something in the Instrument Manager or in the options?
    - could I force the ATM strategy to use only round numbers?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Fred,

    The FDXM should use a tick size of 1. It seems you have it setup for 0.5. Can you please change it in the Instrument Manager for the FDXM. Once changed, please remove and re-add the FDXM 12-15 to your instrument list in the Instrument Manager for the change to take effect. Subsequently orders are only submitted at round numbers.
