Bond price prints

[itrader46]

Hello

Is there a way of printing in the output window the US treasury bond prices as they appear on the ladder, in 1/32 format (i.e. 138'275), rather than decimal?

Thank you

Hello itrader46,

This would need to be calculated by you with custom logic and converted to string.

Fortunately, a community member has done the hard work.

Oh... thanks.. I was hoping it would be be something simpler than that, as that is what I came up with and it looked like it's gotta be an easier way:

PS: for ZF, the {:000} format rounds 125'067 to 125'068, but my way it shows 125'0675

private string FormatAsk(double price)
        {
            if (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ZB")             
                return String.Format ("{0}'{1:00}", Math.Truncate(price), (price - Math.Truncate(price)) * 32);

            else if (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ZN")
                return String.Format ("{0}'{1:000}", Math.Truncate(price), (price - Math.Truncate(price)) * 320);

            else if (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ZF" )
                return String.Format ("{0}'{1:0000}", Math.Truncate(price), (price - Math.Truncate(price)) * 3200);

            else 
                return String.Format ("{0}", price);
        }

private string FormatBid(double price)
        {
            if (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ZB")             
                return String.Format ("{0}'{1:00}", Math.Truncate(price - TickSize), ((price - TickSize) - Math.Truncate(price - TickSize)) * 32);

            else if (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ZN")            
                return String.Format ("{0}'{1:000}", Math.Truncate(price - TickSize), ((price - TickSize) - Math.Truncate(price - TickSize)) * 320);

            else if (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ZF" )            
                return String.Format ("{0}'{1:0000}", Math.Truncate(price - TickSize), ((price - TickSize) - Math.Truncate(price - TickSize)) * 3200);

            else 
                return String.Format ("{0}", price - TickSize);
        }

Print(FormatAsk(Close[0] + FormatBid(Close[0]));
