DataSeries Market Analyzer output

[iangohye]

Hi,

ive programmed up an indicator which returns a value contained in a DataSeries. When i display the value in market analyzer, it returns a double. Is there any way i can just return an int?

Ive tried IntSeries, but somehow it doesnt show up in the indicator properties.

Ian,

MA columns will show plot values which are DataSeries objects which are double values.

Oh i think i wasnt very clear.

What i meant is that the column values were showing up as '5.0000', for example. When all i really want it to display is just '5'. I cant seem to make that happen.

I believe the formatting is based on the tick size of the underlying instrument. This can't be changed. We have added some enhancement in this area of our next major version.

Any updates on this?

Hi,

I've been searching and haven't found any relevant posts on this. Basically, I would like to be able to display the DataSeries (double) output in the MA window as just an integer.

I saw a post mentioning Price Overlay but I haven't been able to determine what that is.

Your assistance is appreciated.

-Thanks

Yes, this would be possible - you'd just have to cast the double as an int, and then use the int as the plot DataSeries.Set value

double x = ADX(14)[0];
int a;
// cast double to int
a = (int)x;

Plot0.Set(a);

This should result in the ADX value as an int, rather then the double value.
