PLACE order will not accept double value

[ATI user]

the following code works

WriteFile("oiflongstoplimitPlace.txt", "PLACE;"+Account.Name+";"+Instrument.FullName+";"+ "SELL;"+activeHEDGEqty+";STOPLIMIT;
1218.00;1218.50;DAY;;"+HEDGE_orderId_STOP+";"+acti veHEDGEatm+";"+
HEDGE_atmStrategyId_STOP );

this code however gets an error 'invalid limit price'

private double HEDGE_stopPrice = 0;
private double HEDGE_limitPrice = 0;
...............
HEDGE_stopPrice = 1218.50;
HEDGE_limitPrice = 1218.00;
WriteFile("oifshortstoplimitPlace.txt", "PLACE;"+Account.Name+";"+Instrument.FullName+";"+ "SELL;"+activeHEDGEqty+";STOPLIMIT;
HEDGE_limitPrice;HEDGE_stopPrice;DAY;;"+HEDGE_orde rId_STOP+";"+activeHEDGEatm+";"+
HEDGE_atmStrategyId_STOP );

the variables are declared as 'double' however are not accepted as 'decimal' values required by the PLACE statement

also, the Orders tab shows different values for limit and stop for the code that does work...i.e. 1212.00 limit and 1217.00 ...Accepted.but not close ....and the SLM order is successfully placed on charttrader chart at 1218.50 as ordered

makes no sense...

Hi ATI user, sorry I'm not following you here :

1. Have you tried declaring the vars as decimal type then instead of double?

2. So the resulting order is visualized in ChartTrader differently than outlined in the Orders tab? Are you sure you compare the exact same order then?

Thanks,

1. duh....never used decimal before...always either int or double....where should decimal be used beside Place order statement

2. yes...plot on charttrader is correct however Order tab values are not even close...yes same order...when send screen shot when i test with decilmal

thanks

Simply define the variable then as decimal in the first place, or cast the value to a decimal.

(decimal) *your double value here* - would be the casting.

Can you please send me your logs / trace to support so I can check what exact order is being issued?

Thanks,
