    Rounding Last PnL and Last Profit

    I hope someone can help with this one. I've searched the forum and found several posts, but none that answered my problem.

    I'm using Last PnL and Last Profit in an auto strategy. The code lines are
    lastProfit = (lastTrade.ProfitCurrency * contracts) ; and

    lastpnl = (Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Currency. CumProfit - priorTradesCumProfit);

    The output window returns:
    The Last PnL is -84.6999999999983
    The Last Profit is -84.6999999999983

    I changed the code lines to read:
    lastProfit = Math.Round(lastTrade.ProfitCurrency * contracts) ; and

    lastpnl = Math.Round(Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance .Currency.CumProfit - priorTradesCumProfit);

    This successfully rounded to the nearest whole number, but I need it rounded to 2 decimals.

    I tried to use the "pop up" menu example of
    decimal Math.Round(decimal d, int decimals, midpointrounding mode)
    but I get a best overload error and cannot convert from double to system midpointrounding error. It wants a current bar [0] of some sort and seems to be applicable to indicators.

    Can someone tell me how to make the Math.Round round the Last PnL and Last Profit to 2 decimal places?
    Thanks!

    trade1953, I believe Math.Truncate would do the job for you - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr....truncate.aspx

      Try
      lastProfit = Math.Round(lastTrade.ProfitCurrency * contracts * 100) /100;

        Baruch,
        Thank You, Thank You , Thank You!!!! You're a genius. Truncate didn't work for me (still rounded to whole number) and I didn't know what to do next. If I can EVER return the favor somehow, just ask. Yahoo!!

          Joe,
          Your welcome. Glad I could help, but really it's nothing.
