Round MA or other indicator to nearest valid price?

[daven]

I have been having some trouble setting a stop price based on some kind of ATR offset from a pivot high price. Basically it never executes and I suspect it is because when I apply the ATR value to a high price it doesn't result in a number which is an even price, (800.13 versus 800.25, 800.32 versus 800.50, etc.) Is there a function in NTScript which can be used to truncate a derived number, MA, EMA, something else) to a valid price so that it can be used in a stop or limit order condition? I tried looking at the Chandelier stop which I found in another thread but when I imported it to look at and tried to open it in the editor, NT crashed so I deleted it. I don't need external assistance in crashing NT, I do that fine on my own.
Thanks

DaveN, have you check into Round2TickSize for this? - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...2TickSize.html

Round to nearest valid price

Perfect!!
I thought something like this existed but my searches didn't find it. I used truncate instead of round. Thanks for your help Bertrand.
Have a great weekend.

number rounding

hi i want to add a number rounding functionality to my indicator but im not familiar enough to generate the code from scratch if anyone has done this or has a code snippet i would greatly appreciate it.

Number rounding function is so that my indicator never places a buy or sell order on an even number.
eg; ES - if a buy order is generated on 1015 i want the script to round up to 1015.25

if a a sell order is generated on 1015 i want the script to round down to 1014.75

and the asme also

ES - if a buy order is generated on 1015.50 i want the script to round up to 1015.75

if a a sell order is generated on 1015.50 i want the script to round down to 1014.25


thanks in advance for any assistance

hi andrew,
for me the thing you search for is not a "rounding" but it is an "offset".
you can do this in the code via "Offsetting an Item Value"
have a look look here :

thanks max,

One last question, how do it isolate the last digit of the price?


for the 6E price is 1.4742 how do i isolate the last digis so i can use a IF statement to ad an offset?


eg of my code;

if (x == 1)
entry = SMA + 4

now this is where i want to say IF "entry" ends with a 5 or 0 offset by +1
