Re: price scale and minimum move

In the new TS 2Ki the "point" keyword tends to return a wrong value, so I've
had to hard code in the point value in some systems.

TS 4.0 has a tick value problem that I've yet to find a way around. I've
changed the symbol and exchange universe settings, but the values still
appear wrong. I quessing its a rounding error in TS.

Anyone gotten around this?
