General Tab

The following options are available when the General tab is selected on the User Preferences window:

Option	Function
Date format	Use the pull-down to change the order of the date display.
Include Average of yearly data	Includes the average of yearly data in a chart.
Lock Units of Measure by default	Converts the unit of measure for a symbol to the same unit of measure as a previously entered symbol when conversion factors are available.
Always force 7 day trading pattern	Always use a seven-day trading pattern versus a five-day pattern.
Use Stream Semantics	This is a future enhancement to accommodate display of millisecond data.
Save Graphics as	Saves graphics as BMP, PNG or JPG.
Round Mode	The round mode determines how MIMIC will treat rounding when the user selects a precision for the series that is less than the number of decimals in the value returned (e.g. precision selected is 2 decimals, the number is 3 or more decimals). In such cases, the user can now specify the rounding technique used by choosing between 3 alternatives: Half Even (the default) - Rounds any trailing 5 up or down to the nearest even number (e.g. if the decimal precision is two decimals and the number to be rounded is 2.345, the calculation rounds down to the nearest even value at 2.34, whereas if the number to be rounded is 2.355, the calculation rounds up to the nearest even value at 2.36.) Half Up - Always rounds the trailing 5 up. Half Down - Always rounds the trailing 5 down.
