Needing Yen to be only 4 decimal places Not 6

Postby justme » 27 Jan 2015

Hi, I have read through the forum about this but don't see a fix. Using Rithmic, I have gone into Datamanager, edited the symbol 6JH5 and moved the prices scale to 1/10000 from 1/1000000 and trimmed 2 digits off the BigPointValuw so it is now 125000.

but to my surprise, the data didn't budge in the chart after refresh and also a reboot.

How do I get 6JH5 to comply with the settings?

Thanks.

The price still runs to 6 decimal places. my assumption was the pricescale change would fix that. But it only changes the chart scaling, so 1/10000 shows 4 decimal points while the default of 1/1000000 shows 6 decimal points.

Right now 6JM5 is 0.008497, but I need it to be 0.8497.

How can I do that?

Thanks.

PriceScale is a bit of a misnomer in that it does not scale the price. The price will remain what it is. AFAIK, the only way to scale the price is to export ascii, scale it outside using a python or excel, and then import it back.
