Hello,

I have been using WLD since Fidelity is no longer supported and I have been using Norgate data. The issue comes when setting stops, the stops seem to be using the bar data from Yahoo. The stops round up or down instead of the exact level they need to be set at. I have included pictures of what I am talking about. I have already made sure to set the strategy reference as it shows here https://norgatedata.com/wealth-lab-extension-configuration.php .

Thank you.

Hi,

Rounding of prices is controlled in WL's Preferences > Advanced Options. The Symbol Info Manager may also affect decimals, if configured accordingly. Please double check that, see below for example:

Prices rounded to 2 decimals in backtesting / on the chart

Thank you that fixed the issue. It was set to 0 instead of the 2 it needed.
