Remove Decimals

[laoshr]

Hello,
I'm trying to remove the Decimals from the text that is printing on the screen. I can't seem to figure out where to put the FormatPrice script (not sure if this is what I really need to use).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hello laoshr,

If you mean to format the Draw.Text text then you need to format the number you pass to it.

That would either be:

CurrentATR.ToString("specify a C# number format")

or

Math.Round(CurrentATR, 0).ToString()

or

string myString = ((int)CurrentATR).ToString();

There are also instrument specific rounding functions if you were looking for the tick size. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...toticksize.htm


Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello Jesse.
Thank you for your reply. I'm a total noob here with the ninjascript (all coding that is).
I've tried putting CurrentATR.ToString("N2") everywhere it doesn't error and can't seem to figure out where to put it.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you again for any help and your time.

Hello laoshr,

You would use that as the string for the drawing object. ToString makes whatever object you do .ToString on into a string. You would use that in the Draw.TextFixed syntax where it asks for the string you wanted to display in place of what you previously used Convert.ToString(CurrentATR).

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse.
That makes sense. I was complicating it way beyond what was needed. Everything looking good now.
Thanks again for your help and education.
