Amibroker and decimal places

[Blogsy]

After playing around with Amibroker, I was sufficiently impressed to buy it outright. But there's one very minor (and probably very personal) irritation I have with it - where the decimal place is positioned against all the quotes. A stock price at 11.9 cents is displayed as 11.9, a price of $1.21 is shown as 112.0. All my experience up until this time has seen that price displayed as .119 and 12.0. None of the settings I've found in Amibroker has been able to change the quotes to my preferred style - anyone know if this can be changed (and if so, how)?

Never had that problem. Sounds like it could be your data supplier is in that format.

Hi Blogsy --

Using the Tools menu, click Preferences, then the Miscellaneous tab. On the right hand side are the settings for the number of digits to display. The values being displayed come from your data vendor.

Thanks,
Howard
