Why do the figures not always show 4 decimal places ?

RTTESS is designed to work with any chart data, not just FOREX data.

Version v1.1.01 to v1.1.33

The scales and values are formatted to suit each chart.
If there are trailing zeros they will be dropped.
If a chart trades in 4 decimal places the values will be shown in 4 decimal places.
However the right hand scale is usually marked at 10th intervals so the trailing zero will be dropped and the figures will be shown as three decimal places.

The values are not always shown as 4 decimal places because the software has to suit all other markets including stocks.
For example the FOREX USD/JPY trades with only two decimal places and would be much harder to view if set to 4 places.
Figures for the DOW would be even longer.

From Version v1.1.33

The scales and prices values have been re formatted to match the minimum traded value of the instrument without dropping the trailing zeros.
With FOREX charts this should match the PIP values.
