Chart & Market Analyzer rounding, sig digits
I am having difficulty understanding something. From what I have read, data series are values of type double. When I use the symbol YM, which is in integral values then I can understand that the prices are integral and the EMA is rounded to an integral in the panel 1 price chart. If I put the EMA indicator in a different panel then I can see the "unrounded" EMA value. In the Market Analyzer window I would like the YM EMA to display the "unrounded" EMA value but it only shows the rounded integral value. I have modified an EMA indicator to also calculate the difference between EMA[0] and EMA[1] and I would like to also display this unrounded calculation, but I only get integral values to display in Market Analyzer. Is there a way to force Market Analyzer to display a specified number of significant figures in a cell? MACD's and other indicators are showing fractional values for their YM calculations but I can't seem to get them for tthe YM EMA's and EMA difference. Thanks.Tags: None

I am not trying to belabor the point. I am just trying to understand. What determines what the indicator value is rounded to? It is clearly different depending on where the indicator is displayed, but why does the YM MACD show fractional values in MA and EMA does not? Is this someow part of the indicator properties that can be coded or is set somewhere deep in the NT code?

I got it to do what I wanted. I needed to set Overlay = false. That way, the indicator doesn't think that it's overlaying the price in panel 1 and it's not constrained to the YM integral values. With Overlay = false the fractional values show up in Market Analyzer and I can still select Panel 1 when I put the indicator on the chart to overlay the price. Thanks.

higler,
Sorry for the misuse of words. I did not mean to say why you are confused, but rather what you are confused at.
I believe the issue is related to what the scaling the indicator is "attached" to. With the information you provided it is more clear that when you disassociate the indicator with the price panel it goes to prints values not based on the instrument's tick size.Josh P.NinjaTrader Customer Service
