Request for RoundUpToTickSize

[bubblegum]

You have

Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundDownToTickSize which rounds down.

Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize which is incorrectly documented as rounding up, when in fact it rounds to the nearest.

But you're missing RoundUpToTickSize.

I'd like to request this missing method.

Thanks

When I need to do this, I round down, then I add a tick?

Hello bubblegum,

I will submit a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaTrader Development to consider adding an Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundUpToTickSize() method. Once I have a tracking ID for your request I will forward this to you.

Regarding the behavior of Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize(), I will test this and if the behavior is not the expected behavior, I will request that the documentation be changed.

I appreciate your patience.

Hello bubblegum,

I've received an ID for your request.

A quick note, Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize() will round values equal to or less than 5 down and will round values greater than 5 up.

(5.00000001 would be rounded up)

This means the midpoint of 5 is used for the rounding.


Your request for a Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundUpToTickSize() method is being tracked with ID# SFT-2633.

Please note it is up to the NinjaTrader Development to decide if and when a request will be implemented.

We appreciate you taking the time to make this feature request. Please let me know of any other suggestions or requests you have for NinjaTrader.

That seems to make no sense. Did you mean "0.5", rather than "5"?

Hi koganam,

I should have detailed that a bit more by specifying the tick size.

If the tick size was 1.0, then 5.00000001 would round to 6.0.
If the tick size was 0.1, then 5.00000001 would round to 5.0.

If the tick size was 0.1, then 1.05 would round to 1.0.
While 1.051 would round to 1.1.

Hi koganam,

If the tick size was 1.0, then 5.00000001 would round to 6.0.
If the tick size was 0.1, then 5.00000001 would round to 5.0.

This make no sense.
If tick size = 1.0, 5.000000001 should round down since the 5.000000001 = 5 ticks + .000000001.

If tick size = 0.1, 5.000000001 should round down since the 5.000000001 = 5 points + .000000001.

Rounding to tick size should always round up at the 1/2 tick.

If tick size = 0.1, 5.100000001 should round down since the 5.100000001 = 5 points + 1 tick + .000000001, the .000000001 being less that 1/2 tick.

If tick size = 0.1, 5.150000001 should round up since the 5.150000001 = 5 points + 1 tick + .050000001, the .050000001 being more than 1/2 tick.

How would this have changed ?

Hello eDanny,

You are right..

With the tick size as 1.0, 5.0000001 would round down. 5.50000001 would round up.

I've muddled this thread up pretty bad..

Thanks for jumping in there to clarify so anyone reading this thread isn't hopelessly confused.

Heh heh, no problem bud.

Hello,

It's been 5 years, and Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundUpToTickSize(), which makes much sense is still MIA...

Any updates?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello Shai Samuel,

SFT-2633 has not been implemented at this time.

Please note, we receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment.

When new features are implemented, they will be listed in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide. The ID number may be different than the internal feature request tracking ID, but the description of the feature will let you know if that feature has been implemented.

As mentioned above, a reasonable workaround is Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundDownToTickSize() + Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize

Thanks.
