Trying to multiply ATR in ticks

Hello,

I am trying to multiply the ATR from the sc.ATR() function, but when I have a price that's quoted in ticks (1/32nds), the number is nonsense. Is there away to code this properly when dealing with ticks? Something other than "float" I assume?

This is what I have now:

  sc.ATR(sc.BaseDataIn, sc.Subgraph[8], ATRValue.GetInt(), MOVAVGTYPE_SIMPLE);
  float InitialATR = sc.Subgraph[8][sc.Index];
  EODStop = BuyPrice - 2*InitialATR;
  sc.Subgraph[6][sc.Index] = EODStop;

Thanks!

If you are asking about determining the correct order price rounded to the nearest tick, do not worry about that. Sierra Chart will adjust it to the nearest tick when you submit the order from the ACSIL trading system.
