I just noted something with PSM Gold Build 350 -- I entered a sell order for two options contracts, and although the transaction window showed 'Contracts' rather than shares, the Shares field in the Transaction and Active views shows -200 rather than -2.00. All the other options still show as contracts.

When I tried to find the setting in the Preferences, I couldn't find it. I may have overlooked it, but I went through a couple of times ... where is it?

Thanks!

Ok, found it and checked. It was still set to contracts. I tried deleting the transaction and re-entering, and although I put in '2' in the Contracts field, the number of shares shows -200.000 instead of -2.000 (it was a Sell to Open.) New bug?

I checked it here, it shows -2 as expected. Please send me the file for testing.

I've done some more playing around with it, and although with that particular record I can get it to repeat, I cannot repeat the circumstances that set it up. I finally went in and got the option ticker through the Option Chain ... on the right click on the main ticker (it's the Kraft Dec 2010 32.000 call), used that one as the basis for the transaction, and it worked. I thought I might have simply entered the option in ticker bar (KFT101218C00032000), so I tried that again, but it also works correctly. My file is rather big and contains all my records -- I'd rather not send it. I'll try creating a new smaller file and using copy/paste to get this record into it, and see if that still repeats the problem. IT may take me until Saturday though -- I'm not going to be around my computer much again today.

That's fine, there is no rush.
