View Full Version : Indicator Plot Formating Help
I'm having trouble matching my variable (a double) when ploted on a chart.
ZB is charted as "116 8/32"
my variable charts as "116.25000"
How and where should i convert my variable to display in fractions as well?

Unfortunately there is no way to format a plot's value based on the display formatting of the underlying price.
Since I can't match the formating of the underlying, is the formating of ZN exposed so I can hard code the same?
In an older post I seen -
PriceDisplay=Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Form atPrice(High[1]);
Not sure if this applies nor could I get it to work.

There is a method that will format a price to a string for use with the Print() method or any other custom drawing you might do.
Instrument.MasterInstrument.FormatPrice(double priceValue)
Something like this would work for example:
double myCustomCalculation = // Some price
Print("Formatted price is " + Instrument.MasterInstrument.FormatPrice(myCustomCa lculation));
