Convert Lots from int to double

[nigeleyre]

I want to trade at 0.1 lots in my strategy but "Lots" is set to be an int. If I change it to a double then the strategy will not compile. It seems as thought Lots can only be an integer. How thereofre do I trade at less than 1 lot.

Please help,

Thanks

Nigel.

How are you converting it? if done properly it should compile, unless it is trashing a later reference? Can we see some code?

Nigel, where is lots set to an integer value? If it is an input that you chose, you can just go back and re-do it as a double or decimal. Just as Sleeping Troll said, can we see some code? We'll be able to help you much better if we can see the code.

Convert Lots from int to double

here is the relevant part of the code:-

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private double lots = 1.0; // Default setting for Lots


if (ToTime(Time[0]) > 80005 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 160000 && tradeno == 0)
{
EnterShort(Lots, "LondonShort");
tradeno = tradeno + 1;
}


#region Properties
[Description("Lots")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public double Lots
{
get { return lots; }
set { lots = Math.Max(1.0, value); }
//set { lots = Math.Round(1, value); }
}


Mnay thanks,

Nigel

Nigel, please don't start multiple threads on the same issue - I'll respond to your other one in a few, thanks.

#region Properties
[Description("Lots")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public double Lots
{
get { return lots; }
set { lots = Math.Max(0, value); }
}

should do it this picks the max of "0" and "Value" rather than the max of " 1 " and value. this sets the minimum for the value.
