Use the rounded value instead of the exact value with decimals?

[Ninja B]

I want the strategy to use indicator's rounded value that is displayed in the price marker on the chart. When the moving averages are displayed in Panel 2 and I can see the extra decimal points. I don't want to use those exact values/calculations just the rounded ones.

Are you using the wizard or programming directly?

The Wizard.

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately this is not possible to do in the wizard. By directly programming it is using the Instrument.Round2TickSize() method.

Thanks for the help.

I'm having trouble doing this. Is the Round2Tick Method the only way?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

You could code yourself what we have wrapped in the Round2TickSize method but this wil be a lot harder than just using the method already provided.

{
double price; Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize();
}

Is this the correct way? I put this ^^^under


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

No, something like:

double myDouble = Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(yourInd icatorValue);

This example of the decimal.Round( decimal, Integer )
method generates the following output.

Argument``` Digits ```Result
-------- ```------ ```------
1.45 ````````1``````` 1.4
1.55 ````````1 ```````1.6
123.456789 ``4 `````123.4568
123.456789 ``6 `````123.456789
123.456789 ``8 `````123.456789
-123.456 ````0 `````-123
-123.0000000 3 `````-123.000


decimal == Argument
Integer == Digits
Result == the final output.



I also used this to convert a dataseries double value to an integer...

period = (int) Math.Round(Value5[0]);

Good Luck,

RJay

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate. Still trying to get it working.

I've given up on doing this myself but I'm trying to get in contact with NinjaScript consultants to have this done instead. 2 of them haven't replied to emails, one of them being Ben from AffordableIndicators. The other one Kama has no links to get in contact which is weird. The one who actually replied is too expensive. Are there any other consultants that help with this or another way to get in contact with Ben from AffordableIndicators?

Please help

On KamaCoder there is a "Contact Us" menu - http://www.kamacoder.com/ContactUs.aspx

I will send a note to Ben.
