Converting double to Int to use as calculation of share quantity

[alabell]

I know that C# has a conversion process that is something like this:

double shareCalc = Math.Floor(unitSize / ((resistance1 - Support1) * winningPercentage));

int shareQuantity = Convert.ToInt32(shareCalc);


so that i can use my double value as an int for the purpose of determining and entering share quantity in my order code.


I keep getting this message:

**NT** Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for strategy 'BasicPivot/13eb629f4d0544df810a5ccff04f6238': Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.

Please advise, and thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

Can you please try Print(shareCalc); before you try to convert it to an Int so we can take a look at what price we are trying to convert to int.

It may be we need to use Math.Round() to round the value down so it can be converted.

Here is an interesting piece of code printout...hmmm...

Infinity

Hello,

Looks like your math action is causing an infinity output which then wont convert to Int.

Would need to have you check your math there and see what is going wrong.
