Tick Size Compression

With Tick Size Compression we can now reduce the tick size increment of an instrument, increasing D&S readability.

Tick compression is the product of tick multiplier and tick size increment of an instrument. For example an instrument has a tick size increment of 0.25 and its prices are like 3081.00, 3081.25, 3081.50, 3081.75, 3082.00, and if we select tick multiplier as 4 then its prices would be 3081.00, 3082.00, 3083.00, 3084.00 and so on.
