smaller spreads

[cashmoney69]

In the past years, the markets have moved to decimalization reducing the spread size

but...

bid ask
23 1/4 23 13/50 spread = .01

is the same as

bid ask
23.25 23.26 spread = .01

unless I did the math wrong, everything seems the same to me. So how does this make things any different?

how about good ole

23 1/4 x1 /2

or 23 1/4 x 3/8

or worst case
23 1/4 x 5/16

never seen 13/50 before

all im trying to say here is that fractions have equivlant decimal numbers.

And what others are trying to tell you is that none of the instruments traded in 1/50 or other "weird" fractions.

Trading is/was done in 1/4, 1/8 and etc. and 1/4 is 0.25, which is far from 0.01.
