Compression Button

Symbols HUE, NGE, RBE, HOE, PLE, and NGH can be compressed, which means that ticks can be viewed in a quantity different from the exchange default.  The default value for compression is five.  Click the compression button to turn compression on and off.

The compression button looks like this:  .

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

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

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