TickSize and TickCount

[NinjaTrader_ZacharyG]

Hello imalil,

Can you please specify the types of your four variables (ats, askVol, bidVol, tickValue)?

In the case that they are all ints, your result will be an int. Here is an example:

int answer = 0;
int firstNumber = 33;
int secondNumber = 42;
int thirdNumber = 12;

answer = (firstNumber + secondNumber) / (thirdNumber);
Print(answer.ToString()); // will print out 6

Please take a look at this MSDN link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3b1ff23f.aspx

"When you divide two integers, the result is always an integer. For example, the result of 7 / 3 is 2."

Is your ats variable a double? What happens when you cast askVol, bidVol, and tickValue as doubles?

Example:

double answer = 0;
int firstNumber = 33;
int secondNumber = 42;
int thirdNumber = 12;

answer = (double)(firstNumber + secondNumber) / (double)(thirdNumber);
Print(answer.ToString()); // will print out 6.25, the correct answer

That's the kind of info I need. ats is double, advol, bidvol is private long, tickValue is int. If I change tickValue and askvol, bidvol to doubles you think it might solve the problem?

Hello imalil,

It would be up to you if you would like to change them to doubles.

Alternatively, you can cast them as doubles in your calculation.

Example:

ats = (double)(askVol + bidVol) / (double)(tickValue);

Yes, I realized that right after I sent the post.

Thanks again, this solves my problem.
