I am aware there allready is an active tread about rounding numbers but it is not working for me,
i am facing somewhat the same problem when printing a to a TXT-file, this solution rounding to
price does not work for me as am im trying to round time or any number not correlated to price in a text file

i am trying to make tradestation to manipulate the price of a certain underlying and print the full numbers incl Hour and Minute in a text file so they can later be imported as 3d party ascii data without needing to do some workaround with open office


example...

Variables: myvalue(0);

myvalue = mavalue + 1;

Print(File("c:\TradeStationDataExport\TS_Data.txt"), myvalue);

the text file will allways be filled with 2 decimals behind the number myvalue

Output in TXT File:

1.00
2.00
3.00

Needet:

1
2
3

i have tried pretty much all rounding functions (and ofcourse the simple Round reserved word) i could get my hands on and i made up some myself, unfortunally this seems not to work while printing data to an TXT-file.

Thoughts ?

you don't need rounding.

you need to cut off the decimals.

and you need to convert the number to string.

Hi,
TAMS is correct,
Try this,

Print( Numtostr(MyValue,0) );

i don't understand what you are trying to demonstrate.

well, by being able to export the data in a format which can be imported by TS without further modifications, i am able to plot constant range bars from tick-data, at least for the visual part.
from here i would be able to use further calculations onto those range bars like finding swing high's/low's which wasnt possible in TS, at least not standard. timebased swing highs and low do not have the same quality. this is just a workaround. It filters out alot of noise and give me more quality swings. i did not like the MC rangebars so i made my own in TS which do fit my conditions
