Matrix Preferences - Axis Increment

The Axis Increment field allows you to condense or expand the price scale for the selected symbol in the active Matrix window. Once the axis increment is increased or decreased, the displayed price value adjusts from row to row based on the new increment setting. In addition, the values in other columns are updated to reflect the appropriate information at each price level.

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

 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.
