 I'm trying the new ROUND function, but am not getting the desired results.
 
 Here is the SF instructon:
 
 round (indicator, decimal offset)   It rounds to nearest value based on decimal offset.
 
 Here is my simple, attempted script:
 
 
 
 
 I get only 2 decimal places in the add column line.  I want 4 decimal places.
 
 ???

 Do you really need 4 decimal places?  Honestly?
 
 The RSI values are in all likelihood rounded to two decimal places, so you cannot be more precise than this, even if you are taking a ratio.  The round off error in the inputs is what matters, not the ratio.

 Kevin,
 
 I don't really need 4 decimals in this case (RSI).  This is just an example only.   My example is flawed, that's why I am seeking a solution.  SF says you can specify the number of places to the right of the decimal.  ???
 
 Thanks.
