Numeric Precision-

Question

How do I set up the contract price and futures price inputs to be five decimal places instead of four?

Solution

The number of decimal places is determined by Numeric Precision. Customize > Numeric Precision > P Unit Price, All Packages. Advised that the number of decimals can be increased from 4 to 5, but they will never be able to change it again if they do increase. The system allows you to increase the # of decimals without a problem. But the system does not handle reducing the # of decimals. It will cause problems with existing data. It is our recommendation to never reduce the number of decimals, but it is ok to increase the number.
