Position size strategy, converting 'double' into 'int'

[ollywedgwood]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my head around how to program a strategy to enter a number of shares based upon my current account size and stop loss risk for the trade being considered.

For a long, instead of:

EnterLongLimit ( DefaultQuantity, LimitPrice, "Long")

I'm trying:

int shares = Math.Round ( AccountSize * 0.01 / (Entry - Stop), 0 )
EnterLongLimit ( shares, LimitPrice, "Long")

... However, the compiler doesn't like it as it " cannot convert implicitly from double to int " or something like that.

Could anyone give me any pointers? Thanks!

Hi ollywedgwood,

Please try:

int shares = (int) Math.Round(...);
