Re: [amibroker] Incorrect rounding in Amibroker

Thanks a lot, but... When we tell AddColumn(*H*,"H",1.4); AddColumn(*L*,"L",1.4); AddColumn(mp,"mp",1.4); to Amibroker, the answers are correct. (The right column below) However, when we don't tell that way, rounding still seems to be incorrect. We should format first and then round with excel

Nothing wrong with AB rounding off. You highlighted: 1. 1.635 1.63 The 1.635 might be rounded off from a number between 1.63451 and 1.6349 (or whatever the accuracy) 2. 1.545 1.55 The 1.545 might be rounded off from a number between 1.545001 and 1.5454

Dear friends, Amibroker seems to be rounding the results different than it should be. Below is a piece of the results. The prices have two digits after dot. (h+l)/2 sometimes has 2 digits, sometimes 3 after dot. Amibroker sometimes rounds the result up, sometimes down. Ticker Date/Time H L
