Rounding EMA

[UncleG]

I like to round an EMA to a wished format ie : 121.25 instead of 121.2469857...

I want to use the rounded EMA value in a strategy. If the EMA value of the current bar is equal to the value of the previous bar than an entry (long or short) is not allowed. But I want the EMA in that condition to be rounded to 2 numbers behind the point - like 121.25 instead of 121.2469857

I have seen things like using 'math.round' and 'round2ticksize' on the forum. However, in these posts there are no examples of what the programming should look like. Since I'm a newbie to programming, has anybody any ideas or an example?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to our forums.

Correct one approach would be using Math.Round straight from C#, just supply it the double value you wish to round i.e. Math.Round(EMA(20)[0]) - that would be for the current bars EMA value.

Round2TickSize would be a NinjaScript method - Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(EMA(20)[0])
