No... such a build up of errors is highly unlikely. The more likely
circumstance is that errors offset one another. Some add and some subtract
and you end up about where you would have been anyway.
Call me a brown-paper-bag-chartist but I just do not see the need for 15
decimal places in trading. How is it that chartists with a piece of coal
and a brown paper bag can make money? This accuracy just isn't needed.

Functionality, not precision. In FORTRAN, as in other languages, precision
is user-defined - there is no necessary increase in precision with the use
of FORTRAN.
Here's a list of the functionality FORTRAN (with IMSL libraries) provides:

Why must you compare yourself to others? Stick to producing. Create what
it is that you wish to create. Serve your own purpose - forget about what
anyone else is doing.
