    Fractions in Data

    Hi-

    I upgraded the downloader to 10.1 and I now find all of my data on charts and in the downloaded shown as fractions, not decimals, for instance a price of $10.50 shows up as 10.24/48.

    Anybody know how to get everythingt back to decimals and keep it that way?

     

    Thanks!

    Re: Fractions in Data

    Fractional / decimal data is a function of the stored data files, and is not changeable from within MS, so try this....

    Start the Downloader
    Update your symbols database: Tools > Update Symbol Database
    Create new securities to replace the existing ones: File > New > Security
    Select Look-Up button to open security database
    Select the Type and Group as required
    Select-All to select all the securities
    Edit Symbol
    Display Units, select decimal

    then just create the new symbols as requires and detailed in the MS Users Manual...


    Hope this helps
