Hi David, I also agree with you that the fractional format is more difficult to read than decimal and I also hope to return to decimal format or at least to be able to choose between decimal or fractional format.
Regarding my problem with price, I insert the number of shares, the prices (in decimal format) and press enter. The decimal formal is converted to fractional format, but fractional number is not the same that I inserted before. :-( Any idea? -- Christian Pinedo Zamalloa (zako) Sent from my mobile device, please excuse brevity or typos El sáb., 15 sept. 2018 14:49, David Carlson <david.carlson....@gmail.com> escribió: > Christian Pinedo Zamalloa > > You have discovered that it is impossible to have all three values shares, > price and total exactly as reported by your broker because he usually has > to round off one of the numbers.
