But we are talking of PctChange... Why more than 2 decimals with PctChange? It doesn't make sense nor explains it. Unless it's done by error, or hmm....
How many decimals posted for 'last price'? " 'percent'? If it disrupts your sensibilities report it to yahoo, they'll run it up the flagpole at the monday mtg.
Upto 4 decimals is used with last price, and that is ok. But with "percent change" it becomes suspicious to display more than 2 decimals, regardless whether the price is in the thousands or is subpenny. If I did so, then I wouldn't have a theme to post here...
lol, here ya go... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/conspiracies-that-turned-out-to-be-true.363018/
True, dude! So then think logically: does it then need more decimals to display the percentage change, or rather less decimals?... It doesn't make sense...
No it doesn't. Seems like Yahoo configure the number of displayed decimal based on the number of decimal in the price of the instrument. Is it the right way to do it? I'd say no. Is it important? I'd say the same.
