Small rounding error on ROI yields

I have been using the ROI_log.txt file for years now as input into my own program to get more than 2 decimals place accuracy. Now that FM gives 3 decimals accuracy for yields I have noticed sometimes my program calculates a result for example of 1.645333% while FM would show 1.646%, where FM should have rounded down not up (other times FM rounds up when it should round down). I believe my program provides a very accurate result of more then 3 decimal places, so I'm thinking when FM went to 3 decimals places, that perhaps it needs to do more iterations of the equation to provide 3 decimals place accuracy. The equation from the ROI_log.txt file I use usually has hundreds of terms as I use it to check the yield of my portfolio over a 1 year or longer period.
Hi Bobo,
Yes, you are right. Excellent catch. We are currently always calculating to within 0.001% on the yield, which could lead to some rounding issues when displaying a percentage out to 3 places. We will correct this for the next update.
