Ninja have not standart function to get digits of instrument? I have reading this examples and all have problem. When convert 1.2351 to string, we can get 1.23519999999. That numbers have different digit numbers. Do you have other issue?

Hello,

No, NinjaTrader does not have a function to to set the number of digits in a string as this is already part of C#.
(NinjaScript is written in C#. Any existing C# functions are not going to be re-created)

Are you finding that using the correct Number format string is not working for you?

What is the output you are getting?

I use this:

        private int GetInstrumentDigits()
        {
            string digits_str = Instrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize.ToString();
            return digits_str.Length - digits_str.IndexOf(Convert.ToChar(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator)) - 1;
        } 

It works write now.
