TAL Rounding Error

In TAL in latest versions, the Max Open Profit or Max Open Loss figures are all out by a mystery 0.01.
So using ES future, if the figure should be profit 50.00 it shows as 49.99 and for a loss of 50.00 it shows as -50.01.
Cannot see where the 0.01 is coming from? I have not changed any settings, just updated to latest release.

OK I can read the answer. All I can say is that I have been using SC for several years and never seen a rounding error - ever.
On my system they have literally just appeared in last few releases, so I assume this is connected to the changes that have been made for the new TAL menu functionality.

This is not related to the recent changes. It is just pure coincidence. It can appear at any time and not appear at any time. It is just a floating point rounding issue.

This is definitely not version specific and this amount of small error has existed always. It is nothing new.
