Truncate large numbers

[Kasper]

Can you shorten display of the large numbers like Vol, Avd Vol in quote panel, portfolio, watch list etc.

e.g. NNN.nnK, M or M etc.

[Jerry Medved]

we do on places like labels. But in fields where the values are shown, they must be fully shown. if you have 20,000,000, you need to be able to tell if it changes to 20,000,500 and just because something has high volume for the day does not mean it is flowing fast now, so cannot assume that those last digits are insignificant

yea I would like that as well as I don't look at the last digits and its better visually if its in K or M, maybe if possible to put an option for both.
At least the AvgVol since its sable

Is it possible the volume on the chart shows 1M instead of 1,000K. It is a bit confusing that way

will be in next update. rounding issue 

[3acor]

Hey Jerry thanks for the update but I noticed that this issue was not addressed.

[Jerry Medved]

?? should not show 1,000K. does it?

 

[3acor]

yea it does

Those damn floats.

[Mike Medved]

No, seriously. C# doesn't include in its libraries the "AlmostEquals" kind of function for floats. So I had to write it myself.

It is a non trivial problem. The most precise method would be of course to decode the IEEE float into its exponent/fraction components and then compare them. I settled for a different method that unfortunately involves calling log functions etc. It is a little slower but I think more clear. But I of course screwed it up. Fixed now. Will be in next ver.
