Really? Unfortunate. It would be useful...

Well, I've set it to 10000. Not exactly sure why. I used to have some issues
with the prices being rounded to whole dollars and I think this fixed it. Of
course it's silly because you can only buy whole units.

IIRC, I would type in 10,000 shares at 0.065 and it converted it to 650
shares at $1 each, which is just crazy.

Does it matter? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
