What the last digit means
Each tick has a quoted price. A digit tool reads the final displayed digit of that quote using the market's configured precision. For example, a quote ending in 7 contributes a 7 to the recent digit history.
The platform must use the broker's quote precision consistently. Treating a number as ordinary text or dropping decimal places can produce the wrong digit, so reliable tools preserve the formatted market quote.
Common digit contract families
Contract availability and naming depend on the selected market and broker. Common conditions include:
- Matches or Differs: whether the final digit equals a chosen number.
- Even or Odd: whether the final digit is even or odd.
- Over or Under: whether the final digit is above or below a selected barrier.
How to read a history window
A rolling window keeps only the most recent number of ticks you selected. When a new tick arrives, the oldest tick drops out. Counts, percentages, highest digits, and lowest digits should therefore be recalculated from that current window.
A small window reacts quickly but is noisy. A larger window is smoother but can hide recent changes. Neither turns an observed frequency into a certainty about the next tick.
Avoid the gambler's fallacy
A digit appearing less often in a recent sample does not mean it is due next. Use digit statistics to describe the observed sample, not to claim that a future outcome is guaranteed.
