Price value in the alert message

[cachevery]

Hi Support,

How do i achieve a little deviation in the price value message.The formula for the closing price alert is this(i could be wrong):

Math.Round( Close[0]

So i get the message in wich it`s said i should sell at 1,2345.So,how do i get the price a percent higher?So if the real price is 1,2345,then i want the value of 1,246845 in the message.Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

? So simply multiply the price by the necessary percentage? No?

By using a calculator?Yes,you can.But if you place 80-100 limit orders per day,it`d be quiet intensive.

So no easy way do it in the code?

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your post.

I believe I understand what you are asking for here, please see below:

        #region Variables		
		private int percent = 10;
        #endregion

		
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
			
        }
		
		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{	
			double limitValue = Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize((percent * Close[0])/100);
			// Then add or subtract from Close[0] for order price.
		}

There should be no issue in calculating this multiple times for different orders.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi Patrick,

where should i place it in the code.When i try i get errors

[cachevery]

Patrick,it`s a bit complex code,so the price value is calculated in this line:

int lastY = ChartControl.GetYByValue( Bars, Close[0] );
double percentage = 100.0 - ( ( lastY * 100.0 ) / bounds.Height );

When i try to add your snippet,i thin it mixes things up and i get error.

Any ideas?

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your response.

Can you provide the full code used or the .cs file for this indicator or strategy?

No,it`s too expensive.

Hlelo cachevery,

Thank you for your response.

You do not copy and paste the code I provide here, you need to implement the calculation into your own calculations. So my calculation used a double for the example:
double limitValue = Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize((percen t * Close[0])/100);
I honestly would just store the value in a double, then use the double for the price of your order subtracted or added to the Close[0]. What are you attempting here with the y value? Are you actually placing Drawing Objects? Why not just use a double for the y value as I have and just provide this for the y value of the Drawing Object?
