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,

how many digits after point are displayed in the indicators parameters window? what Forex Tester version do you use?

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.

. Probably that was an old bug and it was already fixed. As far as i know in Forex Tester 2.8. SetOptionDigits works fine.
You can download latest program version here: http://www.forextester.com/download.html

FTSupport,

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

Forex Tester 2.8 will be issued in a few days so we can treat it as a latest version

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?
