Studies distorted in grains and treasuries?
to any and all efs gurus,
Wouldn't it be true that, for example, efs would treat a tick in soybeans from 7776 to 7780 as twice the value of a tick from 7774 to 7776? When in fact they should be equal? The same would be true for treasuries on a tick from 111310 to 112000, except more so. I realize that the charts are scaled correctly, but I don't see how study calculations compensate for the odd scales of these futures. In my spredsheet work, I had to convert the data to decimals or fractions, perform the calculations and then convert the results back to data form.
Just a thought,
Jeff
