Range to Integer ???

[deanz]

Range returns a Double, so how can I get the range of a candle as an Integer ............... even when the indicator is placed on other Instruments with a different price scale.

deanz, Convert would help you out, there are several overloads possible, perhaps this is what you seek -

decimal myRange1 = Convert.ToDecimal(Range());

[deanz]

that gave a "decimal to int" error instead of my original "double to int" error....

answer must be integer !!

The coded I posted works for me here, please post the one you used in your script, thanks

[deanz]

this is what I want to do

int High_Low_in_Pips = Range();

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please try then -

 
int High_Low_in_Pips = Convert.ToInt32(Range());

looks like that converts 0.0080 into 0 I wanted to convert it into 80

I think this does what you want to do. However, I'm not sure if forex/pips work the same way as futures/ticks.

int ticks = (int) ((double)Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(Range( )[0]) / (double)TickSize);

In futures it will convert the range into the number of ticks. So if the range in TF is .4 it will return an integer with a value of 4.

I posted a little bit ago, but then realized the code didn't work quite right unless used as a double, so I deleted it to avoid confusion.

Hope this helps.

VTrader is correct. What you have here is a conversion of POINTS. 80 pips / 80 Ticks, are - 0 POINTS (forex: 10000 pips per point - the point is the value before the ".").

To get the ticks / pips you need to multiply the range by the number of ticks / pips per point first.

[deanz]

int ticks = (int) ((double)Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSiz e(Range( )[0]) / (double)TickSize);

That worked just right, on JPY 2 decimal pairs and USD 4 decimal pairs it gave just the Integer number of pips, many thanks VT.
