TradeStation Matrix 5 Decimal Places to 4

[maxr 10]

A year or more ago (?) TradeStation went to 5 decimal spot FX pricing from 4 - i.e. what was previously 1.5000 can now be 1.50000 through 1.50009. I can see that may help some traders, but it can make the Matrix trade ladder almost unusable in fast markets. Is there any way to get the TS Matrix to display as it did previously, i.e.

 

1.5000

1.4999

1.4998.. etc.?

 

Currently you can set it to display 4 decimal points, but all that does is take the 5th decimal point off the screen, so you see:

 

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.5000

1.4999 (x 10 downwards, then 1.4998 x 10 downwards, etc)

 

...which is some help when it's moving fast, but not much.

 

Thanks, Max

Personally I have not seen or heard of a way to get it reduced to 4.

 

I think the whole 5 decimal is a total gimmick for marketing reasons to make it appear even more razor sharp but think it has no impact personally in the spreads - I'm with you that it just creates more problems than it's worth but it must be effective for marketing.
