Math.round Question

[turbotrade]

I am trying to return a .25 increment (to the nearest .25 tick price) on a Math.round function of another study. I know that the standard function rounds only to a .50 increment, as follows:

nShort = Math.round(nClose - nStudy);

I've tried to set the .25 throughout the formula to no avail.

Can anyone help with a seemingly simple fix?

Thanks much,
Jody

See the rounding function Steve Hare provided in this post

Alex,

Thanks so much to both you and Steve. That was easy...I made the following change after adding the Rnd function at the bottom of my efs from Steve's sample code :

nShort = Rnd.NT(nClose - nStudy,4);

BTW, can you tell me what tmp1, div1 means? Is this older efs code?

Those are just user defined names for the parameters being passed to that function ie the number to round and the fractional value used for the rounding

Ok, yes, I see now.

Thanks again.
