Math.Ceiling

[SystemTrading]

The following line of code is giving me the error "The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'System.Math.Ceiling(decimal)' and 'System.Math.Ceiling(double)'". What does this mean?

you probably want to do something like

(double)(Positions[0].Quantity/2)

see if that clears up the ambiguity (i can't try it now).

That didn't work.

Try

qty = (int) Math.Ceiling((double) Positions[0].Quantity/2);

Great. Thanks!!!
