Code to Choose Nearest Value of Reference Number

[diorfo57]

Hello,

I need support to develop a code that between 5 variables, always choose the one near 1.00

For instance:

Day 1:
A = 0.95
B = 1.07
C = 0.99
D = 0.97
E = 1.04

Day 2:
A = 0.90
B = 1.02
C = 0.94
D = 1.03
E = 0.97

So in day 1 must choose C variable over the other 4, and day 2 must choose B, and so on.

thank you.

Hello diorfo57,

Thanks for your post.

There are no NinjaScript methods that would retrieve a value that is closest to a specific number.

This would require coming up with your own custom C# logic to accomplish. This could likely be accomplished by using a list of some sort, however, using a List goes outside our scope of support in the Support department at NinjaTrader. You could consider doing some research, such as a Google search, on how to accomplish this using custom C# logic.

This forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on the matter.
