Fractions Category

This format displays values as fractions (for example, ½).

Values are rounded to the nearest fraction selected, so choose the smallest fraction in which the symbol trades. For example, if a stock trades in ¼s and you chose to display it in ½s, a value of 25 ¾ would be rounded up to 26. If you chose to display it in ¼s, it would be displayed as 25 ¾, which is more precise.
