Map Y location to Price

[ptpatrader]

Hi-

I need to workout the nearest price from the Y location of the mouse. I have the Y location sorted, but I am unsure how to map the location to a price. ChartPanel doesnt seem to have any capabilities for this.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Nick.

Hello ptpatrader, thanks for your post.

There exists the GetValueByY method that you can use given you have the Y coordinate of the mouse.

This should get you going in the right direction.

Kind regards.

Thanks Chris-

Is there an easy way to map this returned value to the closest tick? I seem to remember seeing some code somewhere but not sure where.

Thanks,

Nick.

Hello Nick, thanks for your reply.

There is the RoundToTickSize() method that will round a price to the master instruments nearest tick size:

You could also do this manually using the TickSize property, that will return the tick size of the master instrument.

Best regards.

Apologies Chris, I missed this. This works, thank you.
