Digit Adjustment of Variable ** SOLVED **

[paragorundu]

Dear Friends,

I set value of a variable from an indicator, which provides 6 digits after point. This causes bid value comparison issue in EA.

For example:
I get value from indicator which sets variable:

myVar=0.123456
bid= 0.12345

How can I adjust digits of myVar to 0.12345?

I tried many things with no success...

Thank you.

Hello @l-andorrà ,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I had seen that post. But what I need to do is to drop last digit. This code seems to get the last digit. Since I do not have programming knowledge I'm not sure if the mentioned post can be used to drop last digit.

I wonder if the value of variable can be modified at 'Adjust' field of the the block?

Any ideas @fxDreema ?

Regards.

Dear Friends,

After hours of search, I figured out how to solve this issue. Since I have NO programming knowledge, this simple problem became headache for me.

While I was searching similar issues in forum, I saw that most of the raised questions was not replied with a solution. I hope this info be useful to whom needs help on such topic.

I used 'Custom MQL code' block with the following code to have 5 digits after decimal point.

Problem solved!

Regards.

DoubleToStr() function takes a variable from "double" type and turns it into "string". "double" is a floating point number, while "string" is text. So it's not very correct what you are doing. Try NormalizeDouble() instead. The description of this function is like this: Rounding floating point number to a specified accuracy.

In Adjust there is some trick that you can do. You know that in Adjust you normally start with +, 0, * or /. But you can also do it like this:

= NormalizeDouble($, 5)

When it starts with =, it's a little bit different. The final value will equal to whatever is on the right side of =. Well, I want to change the value that I got a little bit, not to give it a whole new value, so I use the value itself. That symbol $ is the value.

Hi @fxDreema ,

I have missed your solution on this subject. That's very informative.

It somehow worked for me but as you said I have to do it in the right way.

Thank you very much.
