Default Decimal display of indicators on Bonds

Price displays as a fraction on the bonds. For example ZN 115'295
However, all indicators on the price panel display with 6 decimal places.

Is this a restriction, or bug ?

- markers on indicator could have odd prices (not aligned to tick size) -> would not make sense to format them like fractal prices
- marker on bar series is a "real" price marker -> it's formated as fractal price

I see what you mean re the averages having values between the fractional ticks of the bond.

However,.. displaying a 6 digit decimal is not usefull either. It should be truncated to the same number of decimals as the price is.

This is how NT does it on other oddly priced futures such as ZC, ZW and even ES
