Decimal Places in Control Box

[DaveE]

Is there any way to control the number of decimal places (or significant figures) displayed by indicators in the data box?

Reason for question:

Some of the existing indicators have the significant part of the number removed (presumably rounded) in the Data Box display when using FX chart.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Load EURUSD 1 minute chart and add these two indicators:
LinRegIntercept
LinRegSlope

Both the indicators produce a curve which obviously contains information, but the Data Box only shows the full value for LinRegSlope (currently showing to 6DP), whereas DataBox has rounded the value of LinRegIntercept to only 2 DP (thus removing the significant part).

I cant see a way of specifying how many DP to display in the Data Box, so what do I need to set in an indicator (lets say LinRegInterceptFullDisplay) to ensure that the Data Box shows at least x (say 6) DP or SF?

Hello DaveE,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to define this currently. The display, as it stands, is related to tick size.

I will forward your comments here on to my development team for further consideration, however.

Thanks,

Here's an example of how this rounding can cause confusion:
Sometimes Rising() or Falling() returns true, but Data Box shows a sequence of flat values.

I understand why NT rounds when trying to conserve chart space (when displaying value labels). But it would be useful to be able to override the rounding when displaying values in the DataBox.

(maybe I have to wait for NT 8 :-)
