Optimal Blue offers several ways to round pricing. Dynamic Markups can be used to round by Product Types but rules can be scripted for each investor when you want to round specific products (or product sets).
There are three types of rounding options:
- Round Fully Adjusted Pricing to Nearest Eighth
- Round Fully-Adj. Pricing to Worse-Eighth
- Round Fully-Adj. Pricing to Better-Eighth
