OnStartUp Problem

[GKonheiser]

I have declared an int,

public int dp;

in OnStartUp I initalize it:-

protected override void OnStartUp()
		{
   			// finds the number of decinmal places in TickSize of product
			double d = TickSize - (int)TickSize;
			string dstr = d.ToString();
			int dp = 0;
			if (dstr.IndexOf(".") > 0) 
				dp = dstr.Length - 2;
			else 
				dp = 0;
		}

this code sets dp to the number of decimal places of the TickSize. For FGBL for example TickSize is 0.01 and the value for dp is set to 2.

The problem I am having is some where after OnStartUp the value for dp is being changed to 0. I have stepped tho the code and after it is set at a value of 2 and before the first call to OnBarUpdate it is being changed to 0 ?? Im very confused , any one know why?

Hello GKonheiser,

Thank you for the update. I am glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue.

For other users who may be experiencing the same issue, please note that

int dp = 0;

was called, re-initializing the variable. A solution is simply to use

dp = 0;
