help with Setoptiondigits()

#1 Postby forextester » Mon Aug 15, 2011 3:02 pm

Hye,

I am working with external double parameters where I have to manually put in pivots (four digits after decimal). But after I press enter after putting in four digits after decimal, forextester rounds'em off to just 2.

I've tried setoptiondigits but no use. setting to 2 or 4 makes no difference.


Code: Select all

RegOption('PP', ot_double, pp);
SetOptionDigits('pp',4);                 // doesn't do me any good; the figure 
                                                  // rounds off to 2 decimal points.


Please help.

Best regards.

Hello,

Hye,

Its a strategy; I have used regoption / ot_double to obtain float input in initstrategy.

At the input, it shows only 2 digits after decimal point; If I enter 2.4096, it rounds off to 2.41.

I'm using FT1.12.

regards.

Hmm, please try to compile your strategy with the help of our new API (from Forex Tester 2.8). Probably that was an old bug and it was already fixed. As far as i know in Forex Tester 2.8. SetOptionDigits works fine.

FTSupport,

Why are you referring to ForexTester V2.8 when the latest version available for download is V2.77?

I am still having issues with this:

Code: Select all


RegOption('Psar 2 value', ot_double , PSAR2);
Setoptiondigits('PSAR2',4);
PSAR2 := 0.001;



Will round the option window back to 0.00

is this fixed?

I have created a dll file using MS Visual Studio 2005 based on example #1. When I start the application I get an error message (see attachment). The application will load only if I press "retry". Also even though I can see the strategy under the Install->New Strategy option the strategy does not appear in the strategies list box.

Hello,

Can you please attach a screenshot of error message one more time?

Do you use debug version or release release version of your EA?
