Input Type Help

[DTSSTS]

I have a Indicator with inputs for value


[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Range(0, int.MaxValue)]
[Display(Name="Preferred Min Chop Points", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
public int PreferredMinChopPoints
{ get; set; }

I would like to input a decimal in steady of whole number, right now It will not take .50 only 1 and above

[Range(0.01, int.MaxValue)]

I tried to change Range to allow but still will only take 1 and above

H1 and L1 are prev pivots as you might see in a ZigZag Plot, so the sum is in dollar values, so if the sum is < 30 for example on NQ that is 30 Points which is fine

BUT FOR STOCKS needs to be maybe under 1 dollar or 1 Point, it would be much better to express in ticks

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = H1[0]-L1[0];

h1l1sumrangecheckC1 < PreferredMinChopPoints

SHOULD I BE CHANGING THE FORMULA AND TRY TO EXPRESS IN TICKS

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = ((H1[0]-L1[0] * 100);// FOR STOCKS

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = ((H1[0]-L1[0] * 4);/FOR ES AND NQ

LOOKING FOR IDEA OR VERIFICATION OF MY LAST THOUGHTS
THANKS
Happy Holidays

Hello DTSSTS,

Thank you for your post.

An input set up as an int will only be able to accept whole numbers. Int is simply short for integer which is just a whole number with no decimals. If you want to use a decimal in that input, it would need to be changed to a double:

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Range(0, double.MaxValue)]
[Display(Name="Preferred Min Chop Points", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
public double PreferredMinChopPoints
{ get; set; }

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thanks for quick response, Can I also so as

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = ((H1[0]-L1[0]) * 100);// FOR STOCKS

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = ((H1[0]-L1[0]) - 4);/FOR ES AND NQ

and then express as ticks


[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Range(0, int.MaxValue)]
[Display(Name="Preferred Min Chop Ticks", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
public int PreferredMinChopTicks
{ get; set; }


thanks again

Hello DTSSTS,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm a little confused by your calculations there - if I'm understanding correctly H1[0] - L1[0] gives you a price difference in currency, is that correct? And you wish to express that difference in ticks? If so you can just divide that by the TickSize to get the number of ticks difference:

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = ((H1[0]-L1[0]) /TickSize);// FOR STOCKS

double h1l1sumrangecheckC1 = ((H1[0]-L1[0])/TickSize);/FOR ES AND NQ

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Great Idea, I never did it that way or knew you could. Awesome solution.

Have a wonderful Holiday
