Enter Long | Double to Int Quantity Issue

[cfree5119]

I am trying to create a long entry order with the quantity specificed by the code below.

double oneUnit = Math.Floor((AccountRiskPercent * AccountSize)/ATR(IndicatorSensitivity)[0]);

However, the code below needs to have an integer entered as the quantity.

EnterLong(oneUnit, "LongPosition1")

How can I alleviate my problem? I cannot change the variable oneUnit to int without the code messing up as well. Thank you.

Hi cfree5119,

You can cast your variable as int, using this format:
EnterLong( (int) oneUnit, "LongPosition1");

Thank you Ryan. While I have you here, if I use the method SetStopLoss(), will it exit whatever quantity I entered at? And will it cancel if I exit the position another way? Thanks again.

Yes, it will match the quantity of your entries. It's applied to specific entries, or every entry, depending on whether you specify "fromEntrySignal" parameter for it.
