Rounding shares traded

[zachj]

If I have $1000 for each trade, I'm looking for it to calculate the rounded amount of shares to enter long with below. I'm getting an error message cannot convert double to string. I guess I can't put shares in the EnterLong function below. So how can I go about doing this?...

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double shares = Math.Round(1000/Close[0]);

if (Close[0] > Open[0] + (Open[0] * .15)) ;

{
EnterLong(shares);
}
}

you need an integer.

So this seems to work...

EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Round(1000/Close[0])));
