Show more than 2 decimal places

[williammanda]

Hello
I'm at a very early stage of learning NT script. I was able to find an indicator that I could modify and everything works except for one issue. The price will only show up to two decimals places and I need four. I'm referring to the price label and the scale (only showing 1.7 now, it needs to be 1.700, please see the "2 decimal" attachment). I only had to change the mathematical equation, no variables were added or changed. Also I have attached the modified indicator "Marketsentiment" which was taken from the "Spread" indicator. This is the line that I modified:

Value.Set((Instrument2Close[0] / (Closes[Instrument1][0] * mul1 + Instrument2Close[0] * mul2)) / (Closes[Instrument1][0] / (Closes[Instrument1][0] * mul1 + Instrument2Close[0] * mul2)));

This was the original line:

//Value.Set(Closes[Instrument1][0] * mul1 + Instrument2Close[0] * mul2);    // set output using synchronized data series

In years past declaring a variable type "real" would set it up to show decimal places but I don't see any declaration of that type. I using NT 7 beta 16. Any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks

I found this:

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
        {
            // Formats price values to 4 decimal places
            return price.ToString("N4");
        }

Will just inserting this do it? Or do I need to tie it to a variable?

Yes, this should do the job for you, for example this SMA below would show 4 digits as well -

 
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
Value.Set(SMA(20)[0]);
}
 
publicoverridestring FormatPriceMarker(double price)
 
{
// Formats price values to 4 decimal places
return price.ToString("N4");
}

That worked!
TY!

Hello,

I am trying to format ATR to 2 decimal places. I tried to use the code supplied by NT_Bertrand below, obviously will amend from 4 decimal to 2 decimals. I copied the code as it is into and NT Script, and got error CS0246, "The type or namespace name publicoverridestring could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" .
Referring to the help menu suggested I re-imported a 3rd party dll. I see this code was in reply to a question back in 2010, is this code still applicable to the current version of NT? If it is, then where do I import this 3rd party DLL from, or any other suggestion on a way to go about formatting the decimal places?

Thanks
Dan

Ok, I have come up with the following for what I want, though not sure how it's different from the code posted by NT_Bertrand. Of course, I am still at the very early learning stage of NTScripts and C#

Value.Set(Math.Round(ATR(14)[0],2));

Glad to hear you found a working solution fro you Dan, could you please post or email me the script you tried setting up with the overridden string example I posted? I would then gladly take a look.
