Converting double to integer

[daven]

I am trying to move a profit target to bring even if unrealized profit exceeds half the profit target. I am having trouble converting the results of the calculation : 0.5 * profit to an integer value so I can substitute it for the old stop value.

Here is the code I am using:
[/CODE]
if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
&& (Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit. Ticks, Close[0]) >= int(0.5 * Profit))
&& (Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit. Ticks, Close[0]) > Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(PerformanceUnit.T icks, Close[1])))
{
Stop = int(0.5 * Profit);
SetStopLoss("@BSDV_L", CalculationMode.Ticks, Stop, false);
}
[/QUOTE]

How can I convert the calculated new stop value to an integer so I can substitute it into the old Stop Value?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Daven,

If trying to cast a type double as a type int, you would need to wrap the type in parentheses.

Stop = (int)(0.5 * Profit);

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you, I looked and looked for the proper expression for int, and just couldn't find it.
So simple.
Thanks again.

Use this instead

var stop = Convert.ToInt32(0.5 * profit)

which is safer. Casting by parenthesis will always compile but could fail at runtime.

Furthermore casting will truncate the number rather than round it. Therefore by the parenthesis method 8.99999999 will result in an int value of 8. Convert.ToIn32(value) will result in an int value of 9.
