ProScreener Different Decimal Precision for the very same return value
-
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.
