How can I set an indicators scale resolution (number of digits)

Hi, see picture below.

Hello wjadevries, thanks for your post.

We have the FormatPriceMarket override where you can format the price marker of the indicator:

Unfortunately, there is no supported way to format the price scale, It would need to be overlayed onto the primary panel to get the same price formatting.

Best regards.

It seems like this function isn't called in my indicator.
I've put a Print(price) in it, but it doesn't'show up in the output.

Hello wjadevries, thanks for your reply.

Did you add the method override at the class level? This method should go outside of OnBarUpdate at the class level:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//...
}

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
// Formats price marker values to 4 decimal places
return price.ToString("N4");
}

yep, it's where you say.
But it doesn't get called..

PS: my indicator is in a separate panel, not in the price chart.

Ah, now I understand why it's not called.
I've set DisplayPriceMarkers = false, because I don't want the price marker to show up.
But I DO want the prices in the scale to be formatted differently.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
Is it possible to change the formatting of the prices in the (left or right) scale area?

Hello wjadevries, thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately not, I found no supported way of formatting the price scale, just the price marker.
