Matrix Preferences - Axis Increment

The Axis Increment tab allows you to customize the price scale for the selected symbol in the active Matrix window. Once the axis increment is increased, the price column (or axis) changes which allows a larger range of prices to be displayed in the Matrix window. The individual rows are combined to properly reflect the information from the consolidated rows. As a result, the values within the columns are condensed, which is similar to how bars are built.

 Access using the menu bar View > Matrix Preferences menu sequence and select the Axis Increment tab.

 From the active Matrix window, you may change the axis increment using the spinner controls from the Quote Bar or from the menu bar > Format > Window menu sequence, and select the General tab.
