modify to show 4 digit bid price instead of 5

Hi guys,

can somebody modify this indi so it shows 4 digits not 5?

And yes feel free to use it

There is a free download here:

your posted code contains this line:


the *Digits* variable is a variable that is *built-in* to the metatrader platform. if your platform uses five digits, the Digits variable will contain a number five.

if you want to specify that your code uses four digits, then perhaps try making this modification to your code:


if you would like to use six digits, then try this:


the DoubleToStr function takes a floating point value and converts it into a text string, you are able to specify how many digits it will carry things out past the decimal point.. Your code, as you posted it, uses the built in variable of Digits, which contains the number of digits that your platform uses. I am assuming that your platform uses five digits?

i am a fairly experienced metatrader engineer, tho i have never been exposed to using the Object Creation functions, they are not of much interest to me. i tried running your code and it did not work for me, but i believe that i have documented the problem and the solution that you were looking for.

i am guessing, perhaps incorrectly, that you are losing your vision, as am i, and you are wanting to display the current price on the chart in an enlarged fashion? is that what you are attempting to do?

Or use the attached (turn off the functions you don't need). Magnified bid price is rounded to 4/2 digits.

NOTE: Ticker requires Wingdings 2 font (attached in zip), for it to display the correct symbols.

DoubleToStr(Bid, Digits - 1) will "round" to whole pips on the 5 & 3 Digit pairs.
USDCHF 0.9488
GBPJPY 125.25

Attached modified indi, now shows 4 digits and 2 digits for jpy.
