dump question

[xbaha]

hi, i know this looks a dump question, but i am wondering why my result is not correct?



private double Ticksize = 0.01;
private double Lookback = 4;
.
.
.
.
Print(Ticksize * Lookback);


in output window i am getting 4 (instead of 0.04) what did i do wrong?

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

I copied this on my side and I get:

0.04

in my output window. Suspect you have something else going on in your code.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello,

Can you please let me know what version of NinjaTrader you are using this is located in the Control Center under Help->About and is to the right of the NinjaTrader logo.


Also, we have a variable in NT called TickSize already.

Try this:Print(TickSize * Lookback);

Finally, please try this:

Print(0.04);

Does this Print as 0.04?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi,
Actually i changed the variable to different name from Ticksize and it output the correct result.

but you might notice that NT has compiled my code without errors, it should give me an error such as the variable already defined or something... this should be reported as a bug i guess.

my version 7.0.1000.6

Thanks for the good support.

Hello,

Thanks for letting me know.

I was actually able to do this without issue on my side so I do not suspect any NT issue. I suspect you have some public variable with the same name in another script some where that your conflicting with and getting you values you don't suspect. This would only happen if the variable is declared public.

I look forward to assisting you further.
