# Use a Display Mask

MotiveWave® will allow you to adjust the number of digits in displayed in the price on an individual instrument. The price displayed in both the price axis of the instrument’s chart and price related fields will reflect the change.

For example, if your data feed is returning a price for the **USD/CAD** of **1.30692** and you wanted to only have four decimal places displayed i.e. **1.3069**, then you can use the Display Mask feature found in the ***Edit Instruments > Advanced*** dialog.

To format the mask, simply use the # symbol to represent every digit to be displayed. You would also have to specify the placement of the decimal within the mask.

Right click on the chart and then select **Edit Instrument**.
