Decimals not accept in strategy

[sdauteuil]

Hello

I have an ATR Trailing Stop indicator I downloaded from a link off this site from Bertrand. It works quite well

With the indicator I can set the Multiple input to a decimal like 1.8

I added this indicator to a strategy which is working however in the strategy editor I cannot enter 1.8 in the multiple.

I tried to make sure the chart indicator had the same value but it still would not work

I am guessing there is some place in the strategy code I need to change the type of variable I am using?

Any help would be appreciated

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for your post.

Do you have a link of the indicator that I can look into and test this on my end?

Stefan,

I am able to pass through a 1.8 value.

What is your exact syntax that you are using for this?

Sorry for the confusion

As I stated below if I use the indicator on a chart it will work fine.

It is when I use it in a simple strategy enter and exit on a cross of the ATR.

The strategy itself works but when I start the strategy and in the edit properties I try to change the value there it will only let me put a whole number.

Attached is the strategy

I'm kinda new with this but here is my guess:
What you refer to "Multiple" in your post I'm guessing is actually "Factor" in your strategy code.

"Factor" is defined as an "int" in the strategy but is probably double in the indicator.


Also: a property of Factor is that the minimum value it can be set to is 1 (one)

[Description("Atr Factor")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public int Factor
{
get { return factor; }
set { factor = Math.Max(1, value); }
}


Hope this helps.

Thanks

I changed the variable setting and the property factor to double and that worked
