Some symbols can be compressed, which means that ticks can be viewed in a quantity different from the exchange value.

Symbols and compression rates:

      5 for HUE, HOE, NGE, NQG, NQH, PLE and RBE

      10 for FXALL (e.g. FXUSDJPY, FXUSDCHF, FXUSDCAD, FXNZDUSD, FXAUDUSD, FXGBPUSD, FXEURNOK, FXEURSEK, FXEURJPY, FXEURCHF, FXEURGBP, FXEURUSD)

      11 for OANDA (e.g. ORAUDCAD)

      100 for QPQO

Click the compression button to turn compression on (orange background) and off (gray background).

Data is aggregated in the opposite direction of the market. Bids are aggregated down, and asks are aggregated up. The traded volume is aggregated to the closest visible price up. The daily high price is rounded up, and the daily low price is rounded down.

Actual ticks, and not compressed ticks, are used for the offset value for stop limit orders. Order types are also determined by actual ticks.

Orders with fixed prices are visible only if those price values match the compressed price value displayed.
