Hi, does anybody know if there is a way to reduce the charts to only 4 digits? My broker does provide 5 digits, but I like to reduce the noise from the pipettes and see only 4 digits. So for example I want to have as the EURUSD price not 1.15741 but instead only 1.1574. An indicator would be great which could change the digits immediately, but I think this does not exist. Maybe an EA which generates offline charts?

Just in the reading of the price?
Or in the margins and perhaps EA calculations?
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

You mentioned EURUSD, my chart, other indicators still have 5-digit numbers.

I need it for my scalping strategy. It has nothing to do with your strategy. I am testing at the moment various ways to remove unnecessary micro-noise created by 5-digit pipette quotes. The fifth decimal place often produces tiny fluctuations that don’t represent real market structure. This noise makes highs and lows look uneven, distorts breakout levels, and creates a “jittery” chart that’s harder to read—especially for scalping.
With a clean 4-digit scale, price action becomes smoother, levels are clearer, and trade decisions become more precise.

No, I never said to use my system, it is for an example how price can be displayed as 4-digits, that's all.
So, to be clear, you want the candles to appear on the chart by 4-digits instead of 5-digits?
I guess you are trading manually from the visual on the chart?
Can you show an example where this might make the price action easier to read?
I for one, cannot tell a 0.00001 difference in any candle on my charts.
Other than that, does anyone else have this issue, understand the issue, and can explain it clearly?

sorry, my English is not the best. Yes I am a manual/technical trader. I have a few strategies which I am trading actively but at the moment I am concentrating on building up a strong EURUSD only scalping technic (you can see my trade explorer named infinity). I am training on charts everyday to recognize chart patterns at the 1 min / 5 min time frame. Sometimes also 70 tick charts. And especially when trading a Double Doji Breakout I recognized in the past that the noise from the 5th digit could need sometimes problematic. But this is still under my investigation…

{quote} Okay, that seems to be a very specific, individual, focused, circumstance of your own situation so there would not many traders able to help you, and they are probably not reading ForexFactory. Wishing you all the luck with your method, and solution for your issue.

study indicator settings and test it well...
