Charts now draw currency pairs to five decimal places — three on a pair quoted in yen, like USD/JPY. Everything else (stocks, ETFs, futures, options) is still drawn in cents, which is how those instruments are quoted.
What it looked like before
Until 5 September 2026 every instrument was drawn to two decimals. On a currency pair that had two visible effects:
- An entry of 1.16224 and a stop of 1.16822 both showed as “1.16” and their two lines sat on top of each other, even though they are sixty pips apart.
- On the full chart page the price scale could not make a step smaller than 0.01, so it stretched to a range the pair never visits and the whole session was drawn as an almostflat line.
⚠ Check any forex level you set by dragging
The same two decimals were used when you placed a level by dragging or clicking a line on the chart — so on a currency pair, dragging an entry, stop or target could write the rounded value (1.16) into the trade. Typed values were never affected.
If you have forex trades whose entry, stop or target ends in two decimals and you remember setting them on the chart, they are worth a look. Open the trade and retype the price; the chart and the fields now agree to the pip.
Why not just show more decimals everywhere?
Because the number of decimals is part of how an instrument is quoted. A stock priced at $232.50 is not more precise for being written “232.50000” — the extra digits are noise, and they make a column of prices harder to scan. Sub-$1 names and crypto get more digits for the same reason forex does: two decimals would be most of the price.
