Bond price conversion

[markcchn]

For US Bond futures price, how can I change the price into fraction of 32 ticks. For example, the price from the chart is 11421, how do I change it to 114 21/32 or 114.656 in order to use it in the EFS study.

getValue("Close",0,-1); should return the value in decimals.
See the enclosed script as an example
Alex

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("decimal");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);

}
function main() {

var vValue = getValue("Close",0,-1);

drawTextRelative(5,close(),vValue,Color.white,Color.blue,Text.VCENTER|Text.BOLD,"Arial",11,"Rate");

return ;
}

Thank you for your help. Instead of having just one price at the end, can I do it on each bar for the O/H/L/C prices ?

Not sure I understand the question.
If you want to see the values in decimals in the Cursor Window then here is a way to do it.
Alex

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("decimal");
    setCursorLabelName("Open",0);
    setCursorLabelName("High",1);
    setCursorLabelName("Low",2);
    setCursorLabelName("Close",3);

}
function main(Rate) {

var Op = open();
var Hi = high();
var Lo = low();
var Cl = close();

return new Array(Op+"",Hi+"",Lo+"",Cl+"")
}

This is exactly what I want. Thank you for your help.

Hi Alex,

How do you convert the bond price back into fraction of 32 ticks for displaying after performing some efs calculation? Thanks.

Hi Alex
Thanks ... I found your old post and the solution is:
sDisplayPrice = formatPriceNumber( close() );
