Converting ZN prices from MarketData

[DionysusToast]

Hi

On the ZN, if I look at the charts or Time & Sales I can see prices like 122'075 which MarketData reports as 122.234375.

I have a few questions about this:

1 - Can I get MarketData to give me the abbreviated price?
2 - If not - is there any standard method I can call to convert the price to the correct format?
3 - In the case of number 2 - is there any way to recognise which symbols need to have this price formatting applied?

Many thanks

Pete

Hi Pete, unfortunately you could not access the price in fractions - a forum member shared his custom code used to convert as needed which you might be able to use as well - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...41&postcount=8

To see what instruments need what formatting / conversion applied you could check their ticksizes directly with NinjaScript.

Thanks for that but I found a solution...
