Rounding issue

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
I'm attempting to round a number to the .001 so far it's being rounded to the .1. Can someone please look at this and offer a suggestion? Thanks

Print("The current iClose is " + Math.Round(iclosevalue, 3).ToString());

Hello CaptainAmericaXX,

Everything looks to be correct.

What value is iclosevalue at when you are getting these results?

That depends on what values you are rounding in the first place. The precision of the displayed value is a different kettle of fish from the value.

As an example, get a "Print" of the raw value too, and let us see if and where there might be a discrepancy,

JC, Koganam,
Sure enough. The "iclosevalue" was based off of an indicator value and it would only round to the tenths, so 10.121345 to 10.1. I plugged 10.121345 into the iclosevalue and it the Math.Round(iclosevalue, 3) rounded it to 10.121. Why will the indicator not round to the thousandths?

That is a strange one. I actually have the opposite problem, where my indicator values are being returned to a meaningless 15 decimal places, so I always Round2TickSize for meaningful decision values.

I cannot think of anything other than for you to track a value through its life in the code, to see where it may be being already rounded before it reaches where you are expecting to round the value.
