Can anyone explain why the Yen (6J) futures contract has a TickSize of 0.000001, but when I look at the values for the HLOC in the information dialog, those values only use 4 decimal places and not 6.

Which feed are you using? My ZenFire uses 6 ticks and displays normally with this ticksize setting.

I am using ZenFire. See the attachment, the open,high, low and close have zeroes for the last two digits. If I scroll my cursor over all the bars, they all have zeroes for the last two digits. This seems strange if the ticksize is 0.000001

Same if you access a regular contract like 6J 12-09?

I just checked with a regular contract, and it uses all 6 decimal places. Any ideas why they are different?

Might be different data then, ZenFire would not support continuous contracts with NinjaTrader 6.5

Sorry, my mistake. My regular contract is ZenFire, and the Continuous is eSignal.
Does this mean that the eSignal data could be out, up to 99 ticks because of the last two decimal places?

Might be, but they should be pretty close since this is futures data, not FX spot. I would suggest to recheck when Globex reopens.
