Snap cursor to valid prices?

Postby Xyzzy » 16 Nov 2016

When moving the cursor along the x axis on a MultiCharts chart, the cursor automatically "snaps" to the nearest bar. For example, if you have daily bars, it will snap to 11/15, 11/14, 11/11, etc. It won't show the cursor at some in-between date, like 11/14.639. This feature makes perfect sense.

Is there any way to achieve the same thing with the price scale (the y axis)? As an example, if I have a chart for @ES, I would like the cursor to snap automatically to multiples of 0.25 (e.g., 2168.0, 2168.25, 2168.50, etc.).

Currently, the cursor on my PC moves continuously between different prices. This can result, e.g., in the cursor showing a price of 2168.11 (which isn't a valid price for the emini). I would prefer if it would simply snap to increments of 0.25 along the y axis in the same way that the cursor snaps to individual bars on the x axis.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hello Xyzzy,

Unfortunately there is no such functionality at the moment.
