A few examples: CDRB: 2002-04-26,0.0025,0.0025,0.0025,0.0025,300,0, 2002-04-24,0.0025,0.0025,0.0025,0.0025,3000,0, 2002-04-08,0.0025,0.0025,0.0025,0.0025,5000,0, CIZ: 2000-10-23,17,17,17,17,300,0, 2000-10-20,16.875,16.750,16.875,16.750,1200,0, 2000-10-19,17.125,17.125,17.125,17.125,1000,0, 2000-10-18,0.000,0.000,0.000,17.375,0,0, 2000-10-17,0.000,0.000,0.000,17.375,0,0, 2000-10-16,17.375,16.875,16.875,17.375,3400,0, EYES: 2012-10-25,0.0015,0.0015,0.0015,0.0015,200,0, 2012-10-01,0.0015,0.0015,0.0015,0.0015,1000,0, Please could you advise how this happens and if it is correct? Shouldn't the maximum be 2 decimal places? Thanks.

Here is one article discussing these types of situations, for your reference, though other conditions may have similar results. https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/nyse/Sub_Penny_Notice_20091106.pdf Tim
