Hi team, I don't really get why the rounding to tick size doesn't work with the following code... why does the only hard coded value provide a correct rounding number ? avgPrice = sc.RoundToTickSize(PositionData.AveragePrice, 0.01); ServiceLogStr.Format(" Average Price : %f ", avgPrice ); sc.AddMessageToTradeServiceLog(ServiceLogStr, 0); avgPrice = sc.RoundToTickSize(PositionData.AveragePrice, sc.TickSize); ServiceLogStr.Format(" Average Price : %f ", avgPrice ); sc.AddMessageToTradeServiceLog(ServiceLogStr, 0); avgPrice = sc.RoundToTickSize(PositionData.AveragePrice, myTickSize); ServiceLogStr.Format(" Average Price : %f ", avgPrice ); sc.AddMessageToTradeServiceLog(ServiceLogStr, 0); with SCInputRef Input_TickSize = sc.Input[19]; float myTickSize = 0.00; Input_TickSize.Name = "Asset Tick Size"; Input_TickSize.SetFloat(0.01); Input_TickSize.SetDescription("Underlying asset tick size."); myTickSize = Input_TickSize.GetFloat(); |

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic 0.01 -> double precision floating point sc.TickSize -> single precision floating point Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-07-06 15:29:41
