MultiCharts uses the '''Regional Settings''' of the Windows operating system to format numbers. | |||
The Regional Settings can be edited by going to '''Customize Regional Options''' in the Windows operating system. | |||
The items that can be edited include the following: | |||
* Decimal symbol | |||
* Digit grouping symbol | |||
* Negative sign symbol | |||
* Negative number format | |||
* Display leading zeros | |||
* List separator | |||
* Measurement system | |||
To access the '''Customize Regional Options''', please refer to the help files from the Windows operating system. | |||
The number of digits behind a decimal depends on whether the number is associated with a symbol or study. For symbols, the number of digits after a decimal is defined in the '''Price Scale'''. For studies, the number of digits after a decimal is based on the number of significant digits. | |||
