In TAL in latest versions, the Max Open Profit or Max Open Loss figures are all out by a mystery 0.01. So using ES future, if the figure should be profit 50.00 it shows as 49.99 and for a loss of 50.00 it shows as -50.01. Cannot see where the 0.01 is coming from? I have not changed any settings, just updated to latest release. |

OK I can read the answer. All I can say is that I have been using SC for several years and never seen a rounding error - ever. On my system they have literally just appeared in last few releases, so I assume this is connected to the changes that have been made for the new TAL menu functionality. |

This is not related to the recent changes. It is just pure coincidence. It can appear at any time and not appear at any time. It is just a floating point rounding issue.

This is definitely not version specific and this amount of small error has existed always. It is nothing new.
