Cut/ round digits after comma

  Hi guys, i hope somebody can help me with the following issue.

  I wrote a little lot size calculator for my chart. The problem is i just want to get 2 digits after comma instead of 4. I tried a lot of different workarounds like “a=round(mashort*100)/100” and other calculations but nothing works for me.

   

   

  thanks in advance!

   

  Size calculator

  // Risk/Trade risk = 150 // currval = Accountcurrency / Tradingcurrency -> Trade USDCAD -> EUR / CAD (*10 for standard Lot) Currval = 6.57 value = 0 atr = AverageTrueRange[5](close)*10000 size = 0 If atr > 100 then value = round(atr/100+0.5) else value = round(atr+0.5) endif // size =risk/(value*currval) size = round(risk/(value*currval)*100)/100 return size as "LOT"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

  // Risk/Trade risk = 150 // currval = Accountcurrency / Tradingcurrency -> Trade USDCAD -> EUR / CAD (*10 for standard Lot) Currval = 6.57 value = 0 atr = AverageTrueRange[5](close)*10000 size = 0 If atr > 100 then value = round(atr/100+0.5) else value = round(atr+0.5) endif // size =risk/(value*currval) size = round(risk/(value*currval)*100)/100 return size as "LOT"

  PRT does not allow to set a custom number of digits, so the only available option is to round numbers like you did!

  You could do something like this and return the value as an text indicator of its own:

  defparam calculateonlastbars = 1 // Risk/Trade risk = 150 // currval = Accountcurrency / Tradingcurrency -> Trade USDCAD -> EUR / CAD (*10 for standard Lot) Currval = 6.57 value = 0 atr = AverageTrueRange[5](close)*10000 size = 0 If atr > 100 then value = round(atr/100+0.5) else value = round(atr+0.5) endif // size =risk/(value*currval) size = round(risk/(value*currval)*100)/100 drawtext("#size#",barindex,0) coloured(0,0,0) return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

  defparam calculateonlastbars = 1   // Risk/Trade risk = 150 // currval = Accountcurrency / Tradingcurrency -> Trade USDCAD -> EUR / CAD (*10 for standard Lot) Currval = 6.57 value = 0 atr = AverageTrueRange[5](close)*10000 size = 0 If atr > 100 then value = round(atr/100+0.5) else value = round(atr+0.5) endif // size =risk/(value*currval) size = round(risk/(value*currval)*100)/100 drawtext("#size#",barindex,0) coloured(0,0,0) return

  Question: Is it necessary to have PorOrder round calculated lot sizes or are they automatically adjusted/rounded upon position entry with IG? Does anybody know?
