Gap List for Analyzer

[brucelevy]

I want to display gap up along with the percentage of the gap from yesterdays close to today's open in the MA. I want to subtract the opening price from the closing price but it does not seem to be coming out correctly.

Value.Set(lastValue);

if (MarketDataType.Opening>MarketDataType.LastClose)
{
double gapUp = MarketDataType.Opening-MarketDataType.LastClose;
Value.Set(gapUp);
lastValue = (int)Value[0];
}

Hello,

I believe we had previously discussed something similar involving volume which the last line looks very similar to.

The reason for this is that the value is being cast to an Int, in this case because it is not a Volume and is a Price it is a double.

To store the value for a double, you would need to change the private property:

private int lastValue;

to

private double lastValue;

And the set would then look like the following:

double gapUp = MarketDataType.Opening-MarketDataType.LastClose;
Value.Set(gapUp);
lastValue = Value[0];

Value[0] by default would be a double


I look forward to being of further assistance.
