printing in drawtext

[imalil]

I need to print a result as a decimal with two spaces to the right: ".22" for example. Like a percentage. What is the correct format?

Thank you.

Hello imalil,

Thank you for your note.

To print a value of a variable with two decimals to the right you could use,

Print(yourVariable.ToString("#.##"));

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks, let me clarify: I need to print it on my chart using Draw.Text. What is the correct format to print an integer, or any length of decimal? I've never been told the correct format.

Thank you.

This should be in the NT8 forum. Sorry about that.

Hello imalil,

I have attached two indicators, 1 for NT7 and 1 for NT8, which will print the last bars close to the top of the chart with 3 decimals.

For 5 decimals rather than 3, you would change,

closeToChart.ToString("0.000"),

To,

closeToChart.ToString("0.00000"),

If you want all decimals, if available, use the pound symbol,

(closeToChart.ToString("0.########"),

Please see ToString format,
