Hi, ProScreener returns different values (with some inconsistencies) depending on instrument prices and it shouldn’t.
```
SCREENER (3.76117 as "s")
```
According to this screener (applied to UK 300) it should always return 3.76117 or at least 3.76. But as you can see in the attached pictures, it returns:

3.76 for stocks with prices below 100

3.80 for stocks with prices between 100 and 1000, with 2 exceptions of prices above 1000 (RDS A: 1677 ; RDS B: 1688.5)

4 for stocks with prices above 1000

Another example:
SCREENER (0.376117 as "s")

0.38 for stocks with prices below 100

0.40 for stocks with prices between 100 and 1000. Four exceptions: (DIAGEO: 1869 ; BR.AMER.TOB: 3995 ; RDS A: 1677 ; RDS B: 1688.5)

0 for stocks with prices above 1000

It hasn’t got any sense. We are unable to compare stocks performances with this behaviour.

Best regards.

Hello drecio,

I think that the results you get are rounding differently because each instruments digits differ.
