Y-Axis and Data Decimal Places?

Postby sparkz » 18 Apr 2008

I'm not too sure when this started happening but I've just noticed something odd. This is on the latest V3 non beta which I just upgraded. The same issue was on the previous beta though.

If I place some of my indicators in a separate sub-chart window they display the data and Y-Axis labels with 2 decimal places and not 4 as it should be in this instance.

If I place the same indicator in the same sub-chart as the data (which is already showing 4 decimal places) it displays ok. This is with a symbol that has 4 decimal places (eg. currency pair GBPUSD).

Changing the Y-Axis with doesn't make any difference. Nor does the scaling options. Hovering the mouse over the data it only shows the values as 2 dp but when the indicator is placed in the data window it's ok.

I notice it doesn't happen to all my indicators, just some. But I can't see what the pattern is, if any. I created new a workspace and recreated the charts with the same effect. Also, all indicators have been recompiled since the upgrade.

Has something changed in this department? Is there a new option or keyword somewhere to control this behavior? I couldn't find anything.

Thanks

Here's an example screen dump showing the 2 decimal place indicator and values from hovering the mouse over it. Values are greater than 2dp but I can only see 2. It doesn't happen on all indicators.

Is someone from support going to be looking at this please?

Or should I be emailing support direct?

Thanks

Check the price index by right clicking it to confirm that the symbol is selected not an indicator

Sometimes the system cannot correctly identify the number of decimal places for indicators. This is a confirmed bug and our engineers are working to fix it.
