sub-panel y axis labels number of decimals

[tulanch]

I have indicators that are based on price which I plot in sub panels.

I typically trade the 6E (4 decimals)

The price values in the sub panels display with 4 decimals, but the y axis labels do not and I an unaware of any way to control the format of the y axis values on sub panels.

This is really noticeable using a cross hair cursor. In the main chart panel, the y axis value get 4 decimals but in the sub panels it gets only 2

It seems to always be 2 decimals

Perhaps this could be some chart property setting

Sub panels do not have a concept of the "bars" to grab the tick size from. While the indicator that is being added has an underlying price series, that input could either be a price series, or it could be another indicator. As a result, the y-axis for the sub-panel will use a default decimal size. This is the same as NinjaTrader 7.

However with NinjaTrader 8, what you can do to work around this is add a second data series to the indicator panel, and then set that data series to be "Visible" = false.

I made a short video which shows how you can set this up - http://screencast.com/t/CBLQd9RhIqwQ

What happened to:

[COLOR=#0000ff]public [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]override[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff] string[/COLOR] FormatPriceMarker([COLOR=#0000ff]double [/COLOR]price)
{
[COLOR=#008000]// Formats price marker values to 4 decimal places[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]return[/COLOR] price.ToString([COLOR=#800000]"N4"[/COLOR]);
}

Did I misread the question?

That virtual is still there, however it ONLY changes the Price Markers price format-> it does not change the actual price scale or the cross hair values that are rendered on that scale.
