Why are the return values from main() shown only with 2 decimals ?????

[€ur0z0ne-Tr@der]

Hi guys,


After more or less completing my programming orgy I recognized that all my return values from main() are shown only with 2 decimals on the charts respectively the cursor window (i hope thats the correct name).

Is there a way to force esignal to show more precision than only 2 decimals - especially in the cursor window, but if possible even in the chartwindow ?

BTW, using DebugPrintln() shows the correct values (all decimals)!!!!!

What am I doing wrong ???

Regards,

Hello EZ-T,

You can force decimals to appear in the cursor window by applying .toFixed(4)*1 to any number you are returning to the chart. The .toFixed() method converts the result to a string. Just multiply by 1 to convert it back to a number so it will display on the chart.

This won't affect the decimals that appear on the y-axis of the chart however. We currently do not have control over that through EFS. You could try the "Show Full Price Precision" option under File-->Preferences on the General tab.

Another method users may commonly see in use for converting a number to a string for display in the CursorWindow and not as a plot id to add two " to the number

return(number+"")

Returns the value of the variable number to the CW and does not plot the variable on the chart.
