Floating-Point Arithmetic

Hi,
I have a indicator output that i need to format
TrailingStop =200,669999999999
This should be formatted to TrailingStop =200,67

Could somebody be so kind to show me how I do this

Thank you very much
Nico

I've read this thread but this is comparing values, I just want it formatted

What is that you want?

- Format for visual display purposes?
- Format to use for an order price?

If the latter, you need not worry about this since NinjaTrader internal will take care of rounding it to a valid tick size increment. If you want to format for display, look at the ToString() method, there are options to do something like TrailStop.ToString("0.00").

Don't quote me on the syntax but I believe that its correct.

Hi Ray,

I need it formatted so I can compair this output value to previous bar close
(Close = indicator output)
I've looked into this thread http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3823
but then later on I get an error message
"Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and double'

Try Math.Round(TrailingStop, 2). 2 is the parameter that determines how many decimal places you want.
