Decimals in a price maker

[merzo]

Hello,

I am looking for a method to put correct decimals in a price maker.

Usually I use this function into my indicators:

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
return price.ToString("N4");
}

In a chart how 6E (1.3716) or 6J (0.009762 with ToString("N6") of course)
it works perfectly.

But if I try to use it in Soyabeans future, I obtain an error. The price 1474.25 turns 1.474.25... how can I leave just the second decimal?

Hi merzo,

I think your actually looking at a comma that is separating the thousands place.

You can remove the comma with .Replace.

return price.ToString("N4").Replace(",", "");

Hi,
thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, it works on all decimals:

Original price: 1474.25

Old script: 1.474.25 - return price.ToString("N2")

Your script: 147425 - return price.ToString("N2").Replace(".","");

Hello merzo,

This is not the code from my previous post #2.

My code uses a comma in the replace. Your code uses a period.

Please copy and paste the code I have posted in post #2.

Thanks ChelseaB,

copy and past now:

return price.ToString("N4").Replace(",", "");

result is: 1.474.2500

Hi merzo,

This is not what I am getting on my end.

May I have an export of your script?

To export your script do the following:

1. Click File -> Utilities -> Export NinjaScript
2. Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
3. Select the strategy from the objects list on the left -> click the right facing arrow ">" to add the strategy to the export
4. Click the 'Export' button -> click 'yes' to add any referenced indicators to the export -> click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

* (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 7/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>
