Hello,

Several symbols give currency values that are slightly off when measured with the chart calculator. See attached chart : http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1596379148329.png
in both cases it should be 100.
Symbol settings (tick size and currency value per tick) are correct.

The symbols where I have seen this happen are HG, SI, LE, HE, RB, HO as well as spot currencies (EUR.USD). Whenever tick size is below 0.001 it seems

This is not a problem. This is just due to floating-point error. Adjust the number of decimal places to 2:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Number Decimal Places for Displayed Currency Value (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

Thank you for your answer. However, the number of decimal places was already set to 2. It still shows 4 decimals. I can set it to 0, it doesn't make a difference.

Ok we see that setting is not applying to that drawing tool. We have solved this in version 2144 which is now available.
