Hi.
For example, it shows the following in the data window:
Date - 28/03/2005
Time - 11:39AM
Value - 1.75004319
Open - 1.750
High - 1.750
.
.
.
MA - 1.74920489
MA - 1.74918889
.
.
.
As you see, in Open/High column, it shows up to 3 decimal points.
In other column, it shows 8 dights.
Is there any way to customize the no of decimal points displayed? How?
Thank you!

:( Bad news! :evil:
Forex futures are usually 4 decimal places, while JPY is 6 decimal places. :(
:cry:

Decimal/Integer rounding can be done at the formula level:
[code:1:e9fe41f202]
===================================
Round to nearest decimal or integer
===================================
---8<---------------------------------------
{ Rounds off data array to nearest specified
decimal place [+x] or integer [-x].

{ Sample Data Array to be rounded }
val:=Mov(C,21,E);
{ User inputs }
x:=Input("Round to nearest decimal [+x] or integer [-x]",-10,10,1);
plot:=Input("Data output: [1]Rounded, [2]Original",1,2,1);
{ Rounding engine }
rounded:=Int(val*Exp(Log(10)*Int(x))+.5)
/Exp(Log(10)*Int(x));
{ Plot in own window }
If(plot=1,rounded,val)
---8<---------------------------------------

Thanks, Jose!
I found something strange.
When I just open the chart (without that template/layout), it shows 8 decimal places.
But when I apply that template/layout, it shows 3 decminal places only.
Weird?!
It seems the display of decimal places can be controlled by the template/layout.
Any clue why this thing occurs?

I think that we'll have to throw that irregularity into the bottomless pit of MetaStock mysteries. :)
