Indicators decimal places on chart vs code

[Quanto]

Hi devs,

When I add an indicator like the ATR to the chart, its value is displayed with 2 decimal places. However, when I read its values from within a strategy, the number of decimal places is greater, and there are instances where the values shown on the chart and in the code can differ. For example, on the chart, I might see an ATR of 10.00, while the code reads 9.999456392. I would like to know what rounding method the chart uses to display 2 decimal places so that I can apply the same method when reading values from within a strategy.

I appreciate your assistance.

Hello Quanto,

While I cannot provide the internal code of the NinjaTrader Desktop platform, I can point you to the Microsoft Documentation on how to round values to any specific amount of decimal places.

Thanks for your answer Chelsea,

I understand that you cannot provide me with NinjaTrader's internal code, but there are four alternatives I could use according to your response:

1. Round(ATR[x], 2);
2. Round(ATR[x], 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
3. Round(ATR[x], 2, MidpointRounding.ToEven);
4. Round(ATR[x], 2, MidpointRounding.ToZero);

Which of the four could I use to get a result as close as possible to what I see in the ATR indicator on the chart?

Hello Quanto,

Round(ATR[x], 2) is most likely the same or similar to what is being used for the rounding on plot values.
