How to get digits of current chart/underlying?

[ttodua]

Is there any builtin function/constant (like TickSize), which says what is the precision (digits after dot) for the given chart?

I am custom method created for that (like `if (TickSize== 0.1) digits=2;`...) , but i am interested if there exists anything simpler...

Hello TazoTodua,
Thanks for your post.

What precision for the chart are you referring to? The price?

[ttodua]

yes, for example, for EURUSD price is about: 1.12345 (so, precision is 5), for AAPL, i.e. 123.12 (so, precision is 2)

is there anything for that? in MetaTrader there is `Digits` constant, in addition to TickSize constant (or whatever is there).

TazoTodua,

It looks like the only way to change the price 'precision' on the chart is by changing the TickSize of the instrument manually.

I do see that there is already a feature request to create an NinjaScript method to set the tick size for the y-axis of a chart panel, so I went ahead and added a vote on your behalf. The internal tracking number for this feature request is SFT-621. Please reference this internal tracking number if you ever have questions regarding this feature request.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist.

NinjaTrader_JoshG no, you really misunderstand what i asked, i absolutely not related with ticksize or changing it or axis-es... I just asked, if i can get how many decimals does current chart have, where is the indicator applied?
Is there any Method or Pre-defined variable for that?

No, there is not a method or predefined variable for that.

You can try something like:
int size = TickSize.ToString().Length;
Print("TickSize = " + TickSize + " Tick decimals = " + (size-2));

eDanny thanks! but I doubt it might have glitches? for example, when symbol ticksize is 1 (or more). I think, we should still wrap that in method with all probably values

Try it and print to the output window. Change charts to instruments of all varying tick sizes and see if it fails. If it doesn't, use it. There is no reason to put it in a method because it only needs to calculate once, on startup.
