Using Instrument.x in other class

[symphys]

I have a public class X which needs to use Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(). This does not work as the class is not derived from Strategy. Class X is instantiated in OnStartUp and methods are called from OnBarUpdate.

I came up with is something like

X.setval(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(X.getval));

Sadly this is not really elegant, as the code in the class should really be seperated in terms of OOP.


How can I make it work in a better way? There can't be 2 classes derived from Strategy, right?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Maybe using the code in from this thread is the solution:

Yes, you could use the custom code presented in the other thread in your class, however Round2TickSize would work in an indicator as well - couldn't you just call it from such to work with?
