Post From: Price Display Format and Range Bars

Hello,

I read this: Chart Settings: Intraday Chart Bar Period >> Bar Period Type >> Range Per Bar - Standard (in ticks) (Chart >> Chart Settings menu) and I read this: Number Of Trades, Volume or Range Bar Charts Do Not Match Setting or Are Not Accurate or Are Inconsistent: How Price Display Format Affects Range Bar Charts

But I still don't understand, why 2 charts of NZDCHF with two different price display formats differ so much. One of them has even more candles than the other one. I checked all candles with chart values tool on both charts, they all have the same correct range.

For both charts:
bars type: range per bar - standard, set to 80
gap fill: none
new bar at session start is off
do not load weekend data
tick size: 0.000050
currency value per tick: 0.00005
date range: from 2020-12-01 to 2021-03-08

The first chart has price display format set to 0.0001 http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1615225484810.png
The second chart has price display format set to 0.00001 http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1615225519493.png

Why so big difference?

Also, in the first link it says: "It is necessary that the Price Display Format setting, also on the Chart Settings window, is set correctly for the Symbol when using Bar Period Type >> Range Per Bar", what is the correct setting in this case? By default, price display format for NZDCHF is 0.0001.

How to determine the correct setting for any symbol?

I deleted and re-downloaded all data for NZDCHF, Intraday Data Storage Time Unit is set to 1 Tick.
