Market Analyzer column to Integer

[ulisesguerrero]

Hello,

Is it possible to change a Market Analyzer column to integer, or to round the number or format decimal count?

Thanks

Hello ulisesguerrero,

Thanks for writing in.

This kind of formatting for the columns would not be available unless you created your own custom Market Analyzer column via NinjaScript and restricted the output values to what you would like.

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

Thank you,

I have tried to convert a double to int in my indicator output:

temp = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Abs(Close[0]-Values[0][0])/(TickSize*10));
Values[3][0] = temp;

But the Market Analyzer still gives a double number: 1.0000

Then I notice that within "Ninjascript generated code" it is still double, but when I change it to int, it automatically resets to double when I compile.

What should I do?

Hello ulisesguerrero,

The Values collection is a collection of double series that are used for plots.

It will not be possible to change this.

Ok, so how can I send an Integer to the Market Analyzer if not through the Values collection?

Hello ulisesguerrero,

If you must be using an actual integer, you would need to make a MarketAnalyzerColumn script and set the CurrentText value from the <integer>.ToString() instead of using an indicator column.

If you are just wanting 0 decimal places from a plot in an indicator you can use FormatPriceMarker() and set the ToString to use "N0".
