Cs0266

[8DTK8]

I don't know exactly what the problem is, but what I am trying to do is dictate the amount risked on each trade.

I have in variables:

privateint aTRduration = 10;
privateint dOLLARrisk = 500;
privateint QUANTITY = 0;

and the calculation that I want to do before I go long is:

QUANTITY = DOLLARrisk / ATR(ATRduration) * 50;

With the desire to go long QUANTITY number of ES contracts depending on the ATR is at that time for the user inputed duration.

When I compile, I get CS0266 - click for info (which doesn't give me anything) and the Error says "Cannot implicityly convert type 'double' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Other than the one that should be on my leg from the last time that I kicked my computer, I don't think that I'm missing one.

Any explanation and advice is very much appreciated.

Hello,

QUANTITY needs to be declared as a double type.

So use:

private double QUANTITY = 0.0;
