Decimals

[karfhans]

I'm using a calculation of a 5 bar average for my target, and ig it's possible I would like to be able to show the number in pips automaticly. The problem right now is that the different markets has different decimals. I added a multiplier, but is it possible to let the efs do this in auto. I was thinking something like this:

if(decimals = 2){
Target = Sum/5 * 100}
if(decimals = 4){
Target = Sum/5 * 10000}


etc.

Is this possible? An if it is, how do I apply it. Would be very happy if someone could help me here.

Hi,

I've been thinking about doing this for a while so I took your request as incentive. Here is my rendition.

debugClear();

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Target 1");
    setShowCursorLabel(true);
    setShowTitleParameters(false)
}
var vDecimal = 0;
var bInit = false;
var Target = 0;
var Multi = 0;

function main() {
    
        if(!bInit){
            var MinTick = getMinTick("6E #F").toString();//replace "6E #F" with your own symbol
            if(!isNaN(MinTick)) vDecimal = MinTick.slice(2).length;  // returns -4- decimal places for 0.0001
            //debugPrintln(vDecimal);  // prints -4- decimal places for 0.0001
            Multi = Math.pow(10,vDecimal);
            bInit = true;
        }
        //debugPrintln(Multi); //prints 10000 for symbol -6E #F-
        //Calculate Target***********************************************
        Value1 = high(-1) - low(-1)
        Value2 = high(-2) - low(-2)
        Value3 = high(-3) - low(-3)
        Value4 = high(-4) - low(-4)
        Value5 = high(-5) - low(-5)

        Sum = Value1+Value2+Value3+Value4+Value5
        Target = Sum /5 * Multi
        
        drawTextPixel(130, 5, " Target 1: " +Target.toFixed(0)+" P ", Color.white, Color.blue, 
        Text.RELATIVETOLEFT|Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM|Text.ONTOP|Text.BOLD|Text.FRAME, 
        "Arial", 12, "Target_1"); 
        return;

}
