: No, its not the price + distribution.

: I typically only use the hi/low/vol or the MA overlay.

: It seems to only occur on some of the stocks or options which are less than $10.

: With the autoscale set to on, the mark is off by about 1/2".

Hi Jim,
The issue is that FM plots your buy markers including commission fees. So,
if you bought 100 shares at $10, and paid $100 commission, the marker would
be displayed at $11, not $10.

This is calculated as (100 shares * $10/share + $100)/100 shares = $11/share.

Thanks,
Mark
